[alberg30] Re: Gasoline Fumes

[John G. Morrison]

R.Hulsey. You have received some excellant advice already , and I  have
learned a lot from it aas well . I hope you will also consider the dreaded
possibility of pinhole leaks  in your  fuel tank . I too had fumes in the
cabin and through the grace of God blundered on until  the day I filled the
fuel tank.. The added pressure increased the size of the pinholes and I soon
had 50 litres of gasolene in the bilges. Best Regards John,   Antares
(which now has a Yanmar 2GM  and I row the dinghy).
