The never ending saga with with the new fountain-help
I have a raw fuel in the bildge. The size of 2 quarters. I checked all the cool fuel and no signs of
leaking I felt the back of the middle port stringer and it’s wet with a fuel smell. Is it possible for the tanks to rupture and leak fuel inside the stringer to the bildge. I popped the access cover for the sending unit tank access and ZERO fuel smell. boats a 98 35 |
is it efi? if it is I would put a fuel gage on the rail and turn the ignition on and watch the gage and see if it drops,the other thing you can do is put a bottle of oil dye in your tank and run the boat,then you can check with a black light for traces of fuel.

It could be an injector O ring failure, there are 2 per injector, 1 on top at the rail and the second 1 in the intake manifold, check the back of the block for fuel

I have known of a few 35s that needed fuel tanks mine included. I don’t know if it’s a coincidence or not but they all were leaking on the port side. Mine would only leak when full. We took a blow gun and put air in the vent and you could see gas bubble up thru the foam around the tank when looking down thru the access holes where the sending units are. Hopefully that’s not your problem.
