Recently I remove the old plywood floor from my 1986 Islander. On the port side I notice some "black" discoloration of the foam. Doesn't come off, not oily, doesn't smell like fuel, isn't soot from a fire???? I'm concerned about it be cause it tracks the fuel inlet hose. Did SC put some coating or barrier in that run before they pumped in the foam to prevent the foam from reacting with the fuel fill hose? Just wondered if anybody else has seen this in their resto travels. Pic attached. Thanks.

Re: Any Clue???

my guess is fuel leaked down the hose and melted the foam and discolored it.
