Adding a drain to the fuel tank well

[jondavies]

I pulled the fuel tank out of my new-to-me Master Angler and other than some nasty, cruddy gas that I'm flushing out, it doesn't look too bad. The tank was sealed with epoxy and the foam around it was dry and solid.

However, I found that there was an inch or two of water sitting in the bottom of the well. I will seal the top hatch when I replace it but there's always a chance that water will find its way in there and accumulate again.

Does it make sense to add a drain into the bilge at the bottom of the well in the back? That way, I can always be sure the tank isn't sitting in water.

Also, what's the best way to remount the tank without surrounding it with foam?
