water in fuel tank

[Mulv80]

Check around your fuel sending unit. Its possible water is getting under your hatch and laying on top of the tank. Its just a gasket around the sender and they do dry out over time.

And remember our fearless leader forgot to install that same gasket and he had gas fumes in his bilge.

Yes indeed that was me, I can not tell a lie! But it has a nice new gasket now

We may have found the problem, corrosion at the filler and worn O ring may be letting water in. Still doesn't explain how that much water got in while the boat was under cover. The search for the problem continues.

Hoses are in good condition, vent check valve working fine and sending unit O ring in place.

Thanks for everyone's help

Sorry MJ. Aristocat, you might be on to something.
