Nautica 13.5 Widebody fuel in bilge

Hi there,

I have a 10+ year-old Nautica 13.5 widebody that starting producing fuel smells and leaking a large amount of fuel into the bilge. As best I could, I checked fuel hoses and couldn't find anything leaking. I'm thinking the tank is compromised but it's not accessible since it's glassed into the hull. The only access port is a 6" round hatch and the snake camera that I have didn't help much. Should I get the tank pressure tested? Anyone have experience replacing one of those fuel tanks? Thank you in advance!

What ended up being the resolution in this situation? I've got a 2010 13.5 wb and I'm curious in case I ever run into a similar situation.
