Sailed yesterday, got back to the slip, crack open a beer but smell
diesel fuel in the cabin. Check the bilge and there is about 500 mls of
fluid there......half water and half diesel....I take it out with a
sponge, first in a clear plastic container where you can clearly see two
different liquids then pour it in a plastic bottle to dispose at our
recycle depot at the club. The bottle holds 555 mls and it was almost
full so I know how much diesel there was. Couldn't find the source
yesterday. The other day, I filled the fuel tank, over filled it almost
to the deck. Thinking it may have expanded in the heat but it should
have gone overboard from the overfill hose. Bottom of fuel tank was
dry. No loss of engine power so the fuel line doesn't seem to be
leaking. Mystery???
Any ideas where I should concentrate on for the source of it?
