I have a well cared for‘89 Nitro 185 TM. I’m getting the smell of gas fumes throughout all of my storage compartments. Trying to figure out if it is a vent problem or an actual fuel leak somewhere. Any thoughts on tracking it down?
Big Mike, there is a vent line that runs from the tank back to the fill port (Perko) and is the square hole at the top of the filler neck. Cannot believe how the band clamps, installed at the factory, face. Impossible to access from under the deck. My son is starting to be sorry I gave him this 185 F/S, when I got my new Ranger. Starting to believe the fumes are coming from the carbs weeping during operation.Guys I checked today. I have no vents from tank. What I thought was vent is only a hull vent and a pathetic one at that. See pics attached. Am I missing something? Could it be possible to vent through the gas cap itself?
