Rinker 250 Fiesta Vee - Fuel smell in cabin

thomasmejer

Hi all

After a one hour cruise, we docked the boat in the harbour. A week later, returning for another cruise, we discovered that the cabin smelled intensely of gasoline. Efter inspecting the engine room, there is no gasoline there. And we locate the smell to come into the cabin in the very front of the hatches in the cabin and mostly from the hatch just under the staircase (towards the engine/fuel tank). 

We have a glued carpet in the kids bedroom, hence difficult to locate the inspection hatches for the fuel tank. No 10 in the below figure seems to be the squared recess from where the smell is strongest - but no leaks or lose connections found here. 

Anyone knowing where I can find them in our Rinker 250 Fiesta Vee?

I have founded the below schematic drawing, but nothing more precise

I had a similar smell in my 342, and it ended up being the hose going to the fuel tank coming loose.

Thanks McGarnicle. Can you tell the hose from where? From the filling?

Correct, the hose running from the gas cap down to the fuel tank.

Thanks. I can access the connection at the gas cap. The tank is much harder. Will check
