John,
If you have strong diesel smells in your cabin, especially when you open up the boat after a few days and go below, you probably have a leak(s) somewhere in your fuel system. Check everything from the fill hose, around the engine to the return hose. When I first bought my boat there was a strong diesel smell and I discovered the bottom of the fuel tank had some severe corrosion with tiny pin holes and the wood nearby was saturated. Also found a very rusty steel putty knife / blade wedged under the tank that seemed to set up the corrosion – dissimilar metals and all… While good ventilation is key to resolving a host of issues as others have mentioned, in this case you may be treating a symptom and not the cause. Same can be said for strong head smells: find the source [usually old hoses] and resolve that; the air will be much clearer. Good luck Brian From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf Of John Conklin via CnC-List Sent: Saturday, April 07, 2018 9:42 PM To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Cc: John Conklin <jconk...@hotmail.com> Subject: Re: Stus-List Hatches and Vent fans.
