Hello all. My fuel tank fill hose, about 1.5”, runs through the corner of the master stateroom. Long story short, it has a portion of that has a small reverse grade and fuel can collect at this low point. It is good American made A2 marine fuel hose, but after 12 years is weeping fuel odors that are getting too strong for comfort. Replacing the hose can only be done by a 20 year old 110 pound yoga master with 30 years of marine experience and I have not found this person yet. I have done some tight repair work, but this is near impossible.
So, I’m thinking of wrapping the hose in some kind of fuel resistant tape or liquid rubber or goop or ???? to try to slow down the smell. Any ideas what product might work? Anyone else ever fought this same problem? Thanks for any help.
