Good Day,
I've seen some of the post on replacing fuel tanks in a 306 Bimini model. Has anyone just replaced the fuel fill lines and vent lines? I do not see any residual fuel in the bilge and the smell is very minute so Im to believe the hoses might be permeating at fill up. Does anyone have any photos of the work performed under deck and or is it extremely difficult?
thank you
 
its 25 years old. That is well into the age where tanks need replacing. It smells like gas. You should remove the deck covering the tank(s) and inspect it thoroughly.
It could be the gasket on the sending unit(s). It could be the fill or vent hoses. It could be any hose, valve or connection. It could be a pinhole in the aluminum tank.
There is no guesssing. You have to find it. Removing a deck requires a screw gun and a razor knive.
