I have a Sabreline 36 Fast Trawler. Recently, after a run I have been getting a very strong raw diesel fuel smell notably on the starb side. It dissapates over the next day or so. Trust me, it's fuel, not a hot engine. I have gone over the engine room carefully, including what I can see of the stb. fuel tank, the fuel crossover manifold and fuel filters and the stb engine. There is no sign of fuel leakage around the tank, the fuel crossover manifold, filters, injectors, fuel pickup or return hoses, or vent hose. Feeling around on top of the tank, there is dust but no fuel. There is no raw fuel in the bilge or elsewhere. There is no similar condition on the port side. Has anyone every encountered a situation like this?
