Hi

i have a maxum 1998 2300sc fuel tank leaking has anyone ever changed this before i dont want to cut deck up because it moulded grip the only way i can see is to remove engine and engine beds and slide into engine bay? I have taken fuel tank out of 2300sc maxum 2000 model and it had smooth moulding where to cut on deck but this one has not.

I'm surprised it is leaking so soon. Are you sure it's the tank. It depends on how long the tank is in comparison to the engine bay. In my 2800 I believe I would need to cut through the mid cabin berth and bring out through the cabin itself. I'm not sure about a 2300. It certainly wont' be easy.

It does come out into engine bay i got the engine out and had to cut engine beds out and bulkhead and slide it in engine bay.
