How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Eliminate all ignition sources. Wear gloves and eye protection. Ensure good ventilation.
- Trace smell source: Follow the strongest smell to locate damp or stained areas on hoses, tanks, and fittings.
- Tighten and replace: Tighten loose fittings and replace any hoses showing signs of weeping or cracking with fuel-rated hose.
- Check level sender: Inspect the gasket around the fuel level sender on the tank top. Replace gasket if seepage is present.
- Monitor bund: Ensure the base bund is dry and clean. Any recurring fuel accumulation indicates an unresolved leak.
