Smell a little gas when tank is full but otherwise nothing. Brought to the Rinker dealer and they said the fitting at the back of the tank (you can get to it from engine compartment) that the fuel pump extracts the gas from tank can not be tighten because nut on inside of tank spins when they tighten outer nut. There fix was to cut out tank on my 08 246 and that cost $4000. they will not try sealant because of liability issues. Has anyone had that problem? Any fix? Help

Yeah, that's one way to do it, but would be like tearing down an engine because the air filter is dirty...
Overkill...
The tank doesn't have a nut inside... The plate has a boss... The boss is stripped.. several easier ways to manage this... Proper way is to pump tank out, take sensor/straw out.. reach in with towel to capture shavings and tap a new thread for a larger screw...
Easier way is to take that screw out, along with all the others, and run a longer bolt all the way through, with a tabbed nut affixed to inside thread end, then simply start it, turn the plate to match other holes, and tighten everything down.. use a new cork gasket.... Pretty simple, man.
