NC 795 Fuel Smell issues?

[cobratom]

I own the brother of the NC 795 the Beneteau Antares 23, is anyone experiencing fuel smell issues with their NC 795 when fully fuelled?

Both of our last outings we fuelled up and went on our way only to experience a fuel vent smell underway for the better part of an hour until we either got used to it or it dissipated. Anyone else experience this?

Cobratom,

I am not familiar with your model of boat so cannot pass comment on the design of the fuel installation on it.

However, fuel leaks have cropped up from time to time on this forum.  

In my case there was a leak at the fuel inlet attachment on the tank.  When the tank was filled right up fuel in the pipe would slowly leak out.  To cure this we had to run the tank pretty low and remove the inspection panel so you could reach inside to unscrew the flange, clean and reseat with sealant and retighten.

A messy job made all the more difficult because the inspection panel needed a special tool that is not readily available.

Good luck.

No fuel smell on a 2020 NC 795.
