Fuel spill

[vjhardcore]

Set my Attwood Tsunami Bilge is place couple days ago for dry fit test. Went back today and noticed my primer lines were off and the bottom of the boat was 2 inches full of gas!!:17::chairshot::aargh4:

So I pulled the bildge out(wasn't attached) and the lower cage is now pink and alittle softer. Took it apart and its soaking in a bucket of soapy water now. The tape on a couple wires went to mush so I pulled what was left off for now.

Sponged the boat out and then filled it with soap water till tomorrow when I can get a syphine hose to drain that out.

Any for seeable damages that I should be looking at? Been like that for a couple days. I know alittle gas and oil in the bottom are the norm but its a brand new boat - what should I be concerned about? Any 'softening' / 'damage' of anything else? The hull?

LOL, the same situation happened to me once, only I thought it was water and just turned the bilge on. I have no idea how i've lived this long.

That's exactly how we sploded Gil's ski. We kept priming it not realizing the primer wasn't attached.

SO ? ! Weres the input - I know what could have happened I know what I could have done if it was water and or the pumps were hooked up - but what about damage to wiring.hull bottom.bilges? Anyone?

Not likely to be any other damaged components.

take a careful look around inside the hull for more damage, use a candle if its dark, and enjoy a relaxing smoke while you are probing for more damage.
