I have a FLIR camera - we use it to spot wildlife at night and I dig it out any time I possibly can find a use for it. It doesn't work very well *through* walls unless there is a big heat differential. On the commercials for it, they show it being used to spot "hot spots" for electrical problems in the walls, but that doesn't really work - the heat needs to dissipate to the outside of an outlet or dimmer switch and the surface needs to be actually warmer. I think that the wood / fiberglass would dissipate the heat on the surface and the camera wouldn't see anything. I thought about blowing a hair dryer / heat gun through the tank and seeing what happened - I guess it doesn't hurt to at least try that.

I think my worst nightmare is deciding to cut an access hole and then finding that I'm in the wrong spot. If I cut a hole from the fender well, I think I only need to be correct in the X-Y plane, and I think I can measure and figure out where I need to be based upon what I can measure inside the tank. Maybe the same from the bottom. Not sure.
