So I smelled a fuel odor yesterday on my 18' and decided to investigate today. What I found was unbelievable. This fuel filler hose is absolutely shredded. Glad I took the time to look. Has anyone ever seen fuel hose do this before??

Hell yes. I smelled vapor before liquid drained into the bilge. Glad I pulled that cover
