Fuel in the bilge

[Fred Mueller]

I recently added fuel to my 1995 C-320. A few minutes after I had finished, fuel began accumulating in the bilge. It was coming from a small crack in the port side of the bilge wall. I examined the tank, tank area and fuel lines and can find no evidence of leaking anywhere. Can someone suggest another source of the overflow?

Tank leak

Your bilge is not sealed , it only colects water for the bilge pump, your tank is filled to hight.and its leaking out your vent hose or where the fill hose enters the tank or at the fill spout. The fuel runs down the in side of the hull and leaks into the bilge throw small holes in the glass I have a C 30 and my hoses leaks with temp change I need to tighten them every year or to .I leave my tank 3/4 full so I dont leak when sailing.
