Problems With fuel tank on an 01 21cc

[OffShore Man]

This weekend I made chilling discovery 22 miles off shore that my tank had either craked or came loose from the filler tube in the foward area of the tank it dumbed about 10 gal of fuel into the bilge. we made it back fine but with no dealers in the aransas pass rockport area it will be dificult to get it fixed has anyone heard of this problem on these models mine has the poly tank.

have you pulled off the round access plate cover to see if the tank slid back. on my 01 the tank ends on a rise out of the floor that goes across the width of the hull bottom. the livewell pump is just to the rear of this rise and the bilge pump is on the opposite side.
logic dave from the old site had his tank slide back and it almost took out the livewell pump .
i think the guys at merritt helped him with getting it reanchored to the hull.
