After we purchased our 1981 31' FC I suspected dirty tank problems and had the tank cleaned in-place in my driveway. The service sucked the fuel out and "polished" it with filters. Then pressure washed the inside of the tank with diesel and then sucked that out. As I had suspected, the tank was quite dirty with 20+ years of water and trash build-up. I had a similar situation with a boat so knew about the service. This routine is not cheap, costing about $800 - $900 here in the Seattle area. It's a very specialized service and they can get just about what ever the traffic will bear. But, probably still better than removing the tank, cutting a hole in it and then welding it up. The whole routine was done through the filler neck.
