Reference point for fuel tank cleaning...

https://www.cleanfuelsassociates.com...regularly.html

Collecting some data on onboard fuel tank cleaning. While this firm is in Baltimore out of my geography(Boston). Here is what the rep quoted me for local service.

$300 for service vehicle dispatched to boat
$2 per gallon of gasoline removed from the tank
$90 for technician to agitate tank during pump out.

Their approach for gasoline tanks is to agitate and pump out. No solvents. No polishing.

That is all....except for a parting thought to this post...making a couple of other calls this week. If you are in Boston area and have used a service please share...also checking at Marina on services there and referrals... Has anyone here written about Marina owner relations, so many do it yourselfers on the forum yet I wonder about how to keep the marina ecosystem healthy...read an article about this in practical sailor recently....provoked thoughts about considering how I spend my money for marina supported contractors and keeping that system healthy while being all about right to repair and DIY. Stay well. Tim
