    Fuel Leak / Smell ?

    Hi, I’m looking for a bit of advice. I have a 1984 Sailfish 255 w/ twin 150 OB’s. When I fuel up I get a slight gas smell in the cabin. I’ve re-sealed the tank sender port recently. Could it be the tank vent hose? Has anyone accessed the tank fill and/or vent hoses on this model? Thanks
