I'd second the Vent hose check. If you've had an "Over fill" during a fueling, and there is even a slight Dip in the hose, Fuel will be captured there. If the hose has a crack or nick there...You've got a Diesel stink spot. Also, the next time you fuel up.. that little bit of fuel will Spit out of the vent. Forced out by air pressure .. Not nice if not caught in time...

Check all the fuel hoses, and vents. Check the fuel hoses from the fuel filler hose to the tank, from the tank to the filters, the return hose from the engine to the tank. There is also a vent hose that goes out the transom - sometimes spiders like to plug up this outlet. If you can't find it by feel, try blowing powder around on the inside bottom of the boat. Then check in a day or so for traces of fuel that have run down the powder. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
