Leaking fuel tank

[ynot]

Just wanted to ask, when is enough, enough ?

Just when everything is sorted, and we have been spending quality time on the water, the fuel tank sprang a leak.

Lucky it was on the trailer under cover.

I have pulled the floor up and I found the boat was built around the tank.

What are my options?

My plan is to take up the couple of bits of timber you can see. They are only screwed on.

I was thinking of jumping on on the tank and trying to crush it in, so I can get it out.

Assuming I can get it out, that leaves me with question of what to do to replace it.

Is a bladder an option? A poly tank?

Getting a full sized tank in, will be impossible.

My poor wife just looks at me.

She loves the boat, but she is biting her lip at the moment.

Any advice would be appreciated.
