Gas fumes.

[Kpw52]

Rebuilding a 2008 sea fox 17.2. Getting gas fumes in the center console. Anybody have any ideas? Bad vent hose, tank leak? No gas showing up in bilge.

start by looking at the tank connections, the vent hose and the fill hose

Well that’s going to be challenging. Have no idea where the tank placement is nor how to get at it.

Maybe someone else will have a clue.

Find out if your tank is foamed in. If you have a leak and no gas in the bilge there are most likely bulkheads surrounding the tank. You said "Getting gas fumes in the center console", do you mean cabin?

How long have you had the Sea Ox? Is this a new issue? Is the boat kept under a cover and the vent is under the cover?

many times the tank is under the deck and you have to cut the floor out.

No, inside the center console. I think I may have solved the problem by replacing the fuel filler and vent hoses and clamps. Not an easy task! Thanks for the response.
