The gas tank is sealed in the boat, no access unless through the Gas cap and hose. Which the hose makes several S CURVES from the cap to the tank. WHICH would make it almost impossible to maneuver through the hose into the tank which actually makes a bend upward then downward.
This being said, the following items were found in the boat tank
FIBERGLASS ---- OOHH now how would fiberglass (something the boat is made of ) make it into the tank.
Cigarettes. --- OOOHH now how would cigarettes make in the tank (especially if it had gas))
Needle Nose Pliers ---- Sorry gonna just say, aint no way in sam hell pliers made it through the gas cap
Sticks & Leaves ---- Same answer as above
MCDONALDS Wrapper ---- UMMM bet its safe to say the guys SMOKING on lunch break threw both their lunch trash and cigarette butts in the tank
Pair of Rubber Gloves --- Yeh pretty much synonymous using fiberglass and resin.
AND NOW THE PUNCH LINE>
The tank has a serial number, EPIC admitted that the serial number on the tank was from the VIP BAY STEALTH inventory which they did not use in their new boats. EPIC claimed someone grabbed the wrong tank and placed in the boat.
EPIC uses a different polymer type tank and manufacturer for their tanks and a different serial numbering system for the EPCI boats.
BUT that's all just a guess.
WHAT DO YOU THINK ??? LOL

Hey man I believe you, just playing a little Devils Advocate. It doesn't make the situation any better but it makes sense that it was an older tank. Defiantly some major QC shortcomings. How can I say this politely, the talent pool in NW Louisiana is extremely shallow.
