Default fuel smell

Check your tank vent. It may be blocked, and as the tank warms up, the
fuel is expanding and leaking out wherever it can. I had to dig a
couple of dirt dauber nests out of my air horns the other day... little
*******s!

ok, i have taken a better look at my boat and have noticed something
differant. where the incoming hose connects to the fuel tank it is sort
of wet. not realy, kind of like a sweat.. we have had realy hot and
humid temperatures the last few days so maybe that is what has done it.
where would the fuel be coming out from though?
