I’ve got a gas smell in cabin, that for the life of me cannot figure out where it’s coming from. Have the smell after fueling, checked fittings, going to check vent and fuel fill hose. I know there is risk of having it pressure tested but not sure what else to do.
Thanks in advance
 
Fuel fill hose was rotted on mine, same issue with fumes in cabin after fillup

Thanks for the info

The gasket on your fuel sending unit is another possible source of the smell. When the tank is FULL, you may have some fuel leaking out around the sending unit but once the tank is down a few gallons, you no longer have fuel pushing up around the gasket and you can’t find the leak. Next time you fill up, pack some dry paper towels around the sending unit, leave the towels there for a 1/2 hour or so after filling the tank and then check to see if they’re damp and smell like fuel....
