Gas leak?

Unthinkable amount?
Wow!
I can't even begin to think about how much that is.......

hundreds and hundreds of gallons....

I've replaced two fills that pored a gallon or more into the bilge. And IMO any amount fuel in the bilge is a concern. But I wouldn't start yank'n tanks without checking the fill or vent....mr.freak'n expert! [img]/forum/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

BTW, the vents on my work-boat go into the cockpit, right where they should be!

Sounds like you would be needing another helping of FREEDOM FRIES young man! Or maybe a serving of FREEDOM TOAST tomorrow morning?

I am not and do not profess to be an "expert". Just a guy trying to interact with my fellow man. If you have a better way of how to diagnose a fuel system problem/leak please enlighten us.

Thanks HermCo. I agree. I will start w/ the vent hose and thru hull hoping that is all it is. I've been going over in my head what a tank replacement will entail. Disconnecting all wires, cables, & hydaulics plus removing the console etc. Sounds fun....NOT.
