Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | If there's a floor vent available remove it and use a small mirror and look at the top of the tank to check the sending unit seal. If that's leaking apply some gasket cement after drying the area and making sure it's clean, reinstalling the gasket and plate and don't over tighten. If a screw got run through the top of the tank, go to a hardware store and buy a rubber gasketed screw, permatex the gasket, run it slowly into the hole and let it kick.
If it comes out, a floor base might also be a possibility to look it over.
Hopefully no one mounted anything on the floor amidships anywhere or remounted the rear seat with longer screws, I've seen that several times.
If the tank is leaking from the bottom, it may have broken loose. No idea what year the boat is, so check that from the bilge with the mirror if it continues pouring out. Rare, but I have seen that on a couple older models. If that happened, drain the fuel and use a dawn detergent bottle in the bilge at a carwash, and buy a 6 gallon tank to get you by for the week.
How much fuel came out? If it's stopped and isn't still leaking, check everything on the top of the tank.
Past that, maybe call Tuffy Boats LLC customer service tomorrow morning. |
