Topic: Diesel odor in cabin
Acquired nu. 305 May 2009 and enjoyed a great season of sailing. FESSALO being an older boat I tolerated a certain amount of fuel odor. However I replaced the kerosene Force 10 which leaked a bit. The smell persisted. Checked the fuel tank for leaks...it was ok. I noticed however that it was not vented to the original vent leading outside on port side. I presume that some previous owner had trouble with water entering the tank while on a lean. Would this be possible. The vent tubes were redirected to the engine compartment. I believe that this is the source of the odor filtering through to the cabin. Any advice on how to correct this?
