The aluminum Diesel tank in my 2000 Leopard 38 catamaran has developed a 
leak, looks like in the bottom.   Another sister ship had the same last year 
in St Martin.  I assume the fix is to weld a plate over the existing bottom. 
Any cautions?  Any particular grade of aluminum to use?  Does anyone know of 
a good welding shop near Albany or Troy NY?
I had heard that Aluminum was the preferred material for Diesel, why would I 
have such an early failure?  This tank has a lowered sump area with a quick 
and easy water drain.
