I had a bad o-ring on my fuel fill that caused similar issues.
I hope that dinghy gas tank down in the locker is something to do with draining fuel and is not actually stored there. Those things are not even remotely safe to keep in an enclosed spaceJoe Della Barba

I recently went through the same issue, knew when the O ring broke and tried to jury rig a seal by applying teflon tape to the fill plate threads as rain was approaching on a Sunday night. Seemed like a good idea at the time, not so much a couple of days later.
My long term solution is to replace the older of two deck fill plates (I have two tanks) with a duplicate of the newer plate so the replacement O rings are exactly the same and I'm stocking only one size onboard.Last edited by ndutton; 07-16-2019, 09:26 AM.Neil

Thanks for the PSA. I'll check mine next time.
Always nice to see how others spend a sunny day in the harbor with a significant other painting her toes and sipping a latte from Timmie's
Kinda looks like you're making beer there.sigpic Whiskeyjack a '68 Columbia 36 rebuilt A-4 with 2:1

They do on airplanes too. After a week sitting parked in the Bahamas with daily rainstorms, I got a *quart* of water out of each tank once
At least I have drains at low points on the plane, boats not so much.....Joe Della Barba

For the forum "old-timers"...
Remember the good old days when we used to scour uploaded photos for the brand of beer showing up somewhere in the images before paying any particular attention to what the image was supposed to illustrate?
