I bought the new tank the day I picked up the boat. They lake tested before hand with their own tank and I said I would purchase my own to save some money. I ended up buying the Evinrude tank at the Marina anyways but it was never tested on the boat. The salesman hooked up the quick disconnect and then took the plastic fuel line connector out of the tank and put in a brass one. I took everything home and filled it with gas the following day and drove to the lake. So something happened in that period after they tested it with their own tank that is causing the problem. Fuel lines are BRP. The tank slid around a little on the deck while in transport to the lake while attached to the fuel line. How rugged are the quick disconnect valves? Could it have been cracked and their is a leak?
