Floor? Do you mean the underside of the bed? I can't remember seeing that hose/pipe fitting. Could you kindly provide a picture? Reason is that when I fill the tank there is allways a large bang from the tank expanding. And that sound like there are many forces inplay. /h8jer

The wooden wedge is at the top of the fuel tank. On my 505 the fuel tank in question is under the floor, under the dining table.
There's a metal plate under the table (beneath the floor) which holds the tank in place, and also serves as a base for the table pedestal. The wedge is between the top the the diesel tank, just under the metal plate, which is just under the floorboards. The wedge was installed so it was snug when the tank was empty. This helps hold the tank's shape when it's full, sparing the plastic fitting at the top, which had previously cracked. (On my boat the fuel tank pick up and return lines are fed through fragile white plastic fittings on the top of the tank. It was one of these fittings that cracked when my tank expanded upwards when full, causing my leak).

Arh forgot you had the 505.
And because of using the mobile forum, I cant see signatures. Now it all makes sense

Hello,
After cleaning the diesel in bilge. Do you have a solution to kill the smell ? Did someone use vinegar with a good result ? Thanks |
