I was a little upset to find that the 5 gallons of diesel I'd poured into my fuel tank last weekend were now sloshing around the bilges. Pouring even more into the tank to investigate the problem showed a stream of diesel issuing from underneath the tank. My immediate thought was "corrosion" and my plan for next weekend was to do something about it. However, a later thought was that there is actually a drain hole on the bottom of the tank and the plug may have vibrated loose over the years. The flow from the hole is very smooth; if corroded I would expect a more disturbed flow. Is my drain hole theory possible? If so, I'll swim around in my cockpit locker and hopefully find the offending article. Sorry if this question sounds a bit basic.
