Default Fuel tank baffle question

Really? Well come on over and yank out my two 350 gallon tanks and
clean them up for me. I'll give you $100. Of course that covers
removing and reinstalling the engine, bulkheads, wiring, plumbing,
water heater, accumulator tank, FW pump, etc. etc.. etc. Oh yea, and
you're going to have to pump out and store the 400 gallons of diesel
that's in there now.

WOW Keith :
I did the 2 200 gallons one at a time, transferring fuel back, and
forth from tank to tank. Took a LOT of time, and fouled 2 transfer
pumps in the process. Used 4 5micron filters to clean during transfer.
Had to rip out the entire floor to do this. (easir than removing the
engines, and if i did i figgered i couldn't get them out anyway!)
engines 6ft long, tanks 8ft long. Wish I had found a $100 guy! How
old are your tanks, we might want to check it out if they have been a
diesel breeding ground for several years. Boatshot, and Tank shots at:
