Gas smell

[BBartB]

Anyone ever get a smell of gas inside the large front hatch? Never noticed it before, but got a hint of it today. Where is the tank located in the boat? Don't have the second tank either, have a freshwater tank instead.

Yes, I did in the past:

Tank is under the Console, there is an access to the line connections in the console, screwed down plate in my 2008 if you want to view the connection hoses to the tank. Are you draining your Water in Fuel Separator into the bilge? Drain it into an empty Gatoraid bottle, not into the bilge.

No smell in the bilge or under the console. Seemed to be isolated in the front storage hatch. That's why I was curious what would be up towards the front of the boat...

Didn't know whether there were tank/line connections up there, if the overflow was towards the front of the boat, or I had a more serious problem possibly.

I had the same issue and it turned out to be the fuel separator in the bilge. There's space for the fumes to waft thorough the the boat. The housing on my separator was literally disintegrating.
