[Public-list] Re: gasoline

[Gordon White]

It's not the A4 that's the problem in the Alberg, it's the gas tank When 
we were looking for a boat about 14 years ago and decided  on an Alberg, 
the first few I looked at had a distinct gasoline smell. They had 
pinholes in the tanks. (This was a problem, also, in the classic 1964-68 
Ford Mustangs, where the gas tank was the bottom of the trunk and the 
fabric liner collected moisture and rusted pinholes in their tanks.) 
When I smell gas on a boat I get right off it, having seen the results 
of gas fires on boats. We lucked into an Alberg with. an almost new 
diesel, with which I feel more comfortable.
