Thanks Sam.
Most boats with fiberglass tanks have them as a part of the hull that was simply glassed off. Lining was rarely done - my old boat was 32 years old with its original polyester resin tank and there was no reaction until a thin layer of something began flaking off a couple of years ago for unknown reasons. I scraped it and coated it with epoxy and all was well.

Not until recently were boats built using epoxy and many are still built with polyestser resin.
