Many people can afford boats with inboard diesels. We know you can't but
try not to be bitter.

Those who can 'afford' an inboard engine are plagued
with diesel oil smell no matter what. (Unless they use
gasoline).

Not so Capt. A well laid out fuel system and properly fitted boat will
not smell at all.

Take RedCloud for instance. I have a superior Lister 2 cly AIR COOLED
gen set that preforms a total exchange of air in my engine room every
15 seconds. You can have everything running at full speed and enjoy
outside tempatures in the engine room. I hang catch pans under my
filter housing for changing filters and removing water. Not a drop
enters my bilge. My fuel lines are all either copper piping or tubing,
same for all my gauges. I run my tubing properly to included vibration
coils so I never have stress or viberation related leaks. When the gen
set is running we are usually at anchor, I leave the mizzen up fully
sheeted in and fully reefed, that way we always face the breeze and
never smell exhaust. And both my exhaust are under water underway.

What is the capacity of the engine and the RPM? What is the engine room
size? 15 seconds... not likely.

Cheers

12hp 7.5KW 1800 RPM's, Between the gen and engine... attached to the
fly wheel is a cast iron squirrel cage type blower. It's about 6" wide
and approx24" across. It all dumps in a 10 inch duct and it piped out
behind the wheelhouse.

Perhaps I have a better sense of smell than many since
I never smoked but I have NEVER been aboard any
diesel boat that did not smell of diesel fuel.

Wrong, as usual.

If the fuel system has no leaks (and why should it have any, other than
stupidity and/or incompetence) then where is the diesel smell going to
come from?

Your statement just shows that you don't know much, and don't have any
friends who know better.

Bull****. My boat doesn't smell. Most boats don't.





Pathetic Earthlings! No one can save you now!

How could anyone like you with nostrils burned
out by the white powder smell anything anyway?
