I have a proline 30 sports center console. 2000 I no it up in age i replace everything' on it got twin Hondas outbroad motors 2015 .got them brand new . Ok here my problem took it out last weekend ran great no problem went on a 24 hour fishing trip. Got back every thing good went back during the week to get some stuff I left on my boat. Smelled gas so I open up my hatch to my bilge pump the bottom of bilge pump full of gas. I recently changed out my water fuel separator. Is it possible that that much gas could leak out from my water fuel separator. I had my gas tanks pressured tested no leaks about 2 years ago does anyone have any suggestions .and does anyone know around how much it will run me to change out my gas tanks.ouch!!!!!

you need to find the leak before you know what it will take to fix.

if you picked up a racor fuel/water separator, check it to see if the bowl is leaking.

Rubber fuel lines and fill and vent hoses can leak, as well as gas gauge sender units. If tanks don't leak, you are within a few dollars of a fix.

Two boats. Two fuel leaks. Both in the bottom of the fuel fill hose.
