Hey guys,
I recently noticed a strong smell of gas fumes on my jacket after I stored it in the bow compartment of my skiff. I checked all the fuel hose connections and they are good and tight. I did not notice any gas smell in the bilge area nor did I see any fuel under the tank. I did notice there was blistering of the powder coat around the fuel filler stem.
My question is, could that blistering in the powder coat be the cause of any gas smell? Should I take the fuel tank out and have it re-coated or treated to avoid future corrosion? If so, does any one have a shop they recommend near the Miami area?
