I winterized my A30 last month and topped off the gas tank 2 weeks ago. I went down to the boat today for other work and when I entered the cabin it smelled like gasoline like never before...Wow!
I quickly opened additional hatches to vent and looked for some type of fuel line leak. Found nothing.
Is this a common phenonomum after topping off a gas tank (this is my first winterizing experience)?
Since I suspect my fuel guage may be broken, I was worried I 'overfilled' the tank. The gasoline never rose to the deck fitting, but I could hear a different filling noise towards the end (maybe fuel was starting to back up the fuel line?).
Any comments or words of caution?
Thanks,
Joe
