In order to pressure test the tank, we need to make sure we close off all of the locations where air could get out. As well as have a way to put air into the tank!

The last thing that we will need as an air pump, or a tank of compressed air. It doesn’t take a lot, but we will need some air and a nozzle to put the air into the tank.

This is where everyone gets wild and gasps! Don’t get to excited just yet, we still have options!

Perhaps you have accidentally overfilled the tanks, or it could be coming from an old-style fuel tank breather. [links]

Any fuel line will eventually wear out or break down and cause issues.

This would entail following the fuel lines from the engine to the fuel tank and inspecting them for any suspicious items. more

While the boat is running but not in motion, it has a rough idle or unsteady functioning.

While you might not have been concerned at first, tiny pinpoints or leaks emitting fuel vapors would begin to emanate a subtle or sometimes strong stench of gasoline or diesel. Small leaks like these will soon grow into larger ones, which would eventually cause more serious problems.
