Data gathered during this research showed that aluminum fuel tanks failed in many different types, makes, and models of recreational boats owned by the general public. Problems with leakage of aluminum fuel tanks in boats are widespread. Examination of the completed surveys did not reveal a common factor to the boats which experienced problems with their aluminum fuel tanks. Based on the wide range of data, it was not possible to make a realistic determination of an average life span of these aluminum fuel tanks. An examination of the basic interaction of marine grade aluminum with the boat bilge environment showed that aluminum designated for marine use has never been subjected to substantial research under these conditions. The study illustrates a serious problem requiring further research in the future.
