Hi, The surveyor who inspected my boat mentioned a priority replacement of
the "fuel tank flame gauze" in his report, but I have been unable to find
out what he was referring to. The marina where my boat is isn't familiar
with that term either.

He (Johnathon Watson for those of you who know of him) has passed away since
doing the survey.

Thanks



The fuel tank's vent (usually the little chrome fitting under the
gunwale high on the outside of the hull) must have a flame arresting
gauze in it, over time they fall to bits. Easiest to just fit a new fuel
vent outlet.
