    Glastron SX 175 Gas Smell

    Thanks, that's what I plan on doing. I actually already tightened the clamps on those hoses, but don't want to go too tight, I may add another clamp in between to secure it some more. Gasket will arrive Friday, so I'll do it this weekend, will keep everyone updated on progress. Thanks so much...

    Glastron SX 175 Gas Smell

    Yeah they're over 20 years old, so I suppose I need to go in and change them. I really would have liked to avoid doing the hoses, especially during winter. May need to wait until weather gets a bit warmer. I'll change the gasket on the sender, already bought a new one. Do I need to put...

    Glastron SX 175 Gas Smell

    Yup I got those mixed up, do those seem to be leaking as well then? The vent seems to be getting some fumes, in that case do I need to also change the pipe?

    Glastron SX 175 Gas Smell

    Yes I meant the vent from the tank, that seems to use the same port as the fill port. I currently have it winterized already and the thank is about 1/3 full? Is that ok to just use an electric bicycle pump to it up? Or is that dangerous for potential spark? Are you guys able to see my video...

    Glastron SX 175 Gas Smell

    Yeah, I was going to do that as well, but that exhaust seems to use the same port as the fill port, so I'm confused as to whether or not the exhaust still needs to be clamped. I also don't have an air compressor so will need to get one to test it.

    Glastron SX 175 Gas Smell

    Oh also this isn’t on a full tank and I noticed it no matter how much gas I had in the tank.

    Glastron SX 175 Gas Smell

    Thanks! So your other lines didn’t have any fumes? I definitely need to reseal that sender with some new gasket maker then. What should I do in terms of those pipes? They’re unfortunately not long enough for me to shave off and use the existing lines so if I need to I would have to replace them...

    Glastron SX 175 Gas Smell

    So I got a chance to open up the lid and check the tank. It is a poly tank. I checked the hoses and the sender unit for leaks and the majority of the fumes came from the sender unit cap and some from the exhaust pipe connection. I tried to tighten the pipe clamps a bit but that didn’t seem to...

    Glastron SX 175 Gas Smell

    I'll check the fittings and hoses, haven't had a chance to do it myself yet. Leak doesn't necessarily mean leaking gas but fumes right?

    Glastron SX 175 Gas Smell

    Just had it checked at the marine shop and they didn't find any issues, couldn't find any leaks but that smell is still so heavy. They tell me it's because I'm keeping it outside and change of temperature will cause gas fumes to rise. But I can clearly tell the fumes are from the gas tank but...

    Glastron SX 175 Gas Smell

    Oh I have that rear bench seat and the back opens up to the engine, should be very similar to the 195.

    Glastron SX 175 Gas Smell

    I can smell it when it's in storage and when I remove the covering I can smell it.

    Glastron SX 175 Gas Smell

    Oh thanks, I'll have to see, I know there is a crevice next to where the center carpet is laid out so I'll unsnap that and see how I can open it. When you say the Ski storage, that's the center floor panel right? Thanks!

    Glastron SX 175 Gas Smell

    Yeah no gas in the bilge water that I can see. It's been raining today so I'll go check these out when it stops. Appreciate it!

    Glastron SX 175 Gas Smell

    Thanks so much for the details, I bought a set of tools to do a tank pressure test, will also see into checking those hoses. Does anyone have any experience in opening the compartment to the gas tank for the Glastron SX175?

    Glastron SX 175 Gas Smell

    Hi, I’ve been getting this gas fume smell in my Glastron SX 175 every time it is in idle. I will need to run the blower for a few minutes and then it disappears. Also when I have it stored and covered up, whenever I uncover it I can smell the fumes build up. I recently bought a gas fume...
