Well fellers, the owner is not interested in removing the tank without evidence it is necessary which we do not yet have. We are renewing and modifying the entire fuel system because of air entering the system (diesel). We are eliminating the mechanical fuel pump in favor of a Facet (rebuild and diaphragm maintenance/concerns), eliminating the on-engine fuel filter (a known Yanmar problem), new Racor filter, new fuel hoses throughout and adding my polishing system. His tank is currently at about 3/4 so if after our other fuel system work is done we are still getting air, we will fill the tank and test again. If the air problem disappears we will get after the pickup tube no matter what it takes.
