I have had the rear hatch cover, live well, seat assembly, foot rest, T-Top, entire center console and the 85 gallon fuel tank removed for inspection looking for a possible fuel leak.

I had the fuel tank pressure tested and "Thank God" it passed with no leaks.

Once the tank was removed I could clearly see how the Stainless Steel Stringer runs the length of the fuel tank.

There has been a lot of threads/posts about the Stainless Steel Stringer in the bilge area and cleaning and re-applying new RULE there but now that I have seen it fully exposed I can clearly see where water can enter the inner hull all the way to the front of the tank.

Since everything is out I plan to have all of the old RULE removed and new RULE applied.

See my pics for details.
