    1998' 2520 tank replacement

    Thanks for the great post. I am dealing with fuel smell and some raw fuel in the bilge but so far have not been able to find anything. The tank has passed a pressure test and no obvious sign of leaks from any of the hoses. Wondering if you had similar experience or if it was obvious to you...

    Fuel smell 2320

    the tank was pressure tested and I assume that they left the sending unit in when they did that. I would think that this would have tested the integrity of the sending unit gasket. Also, they did fill the tank to the brink and towed the boat around their yard up and down hills and were not...

    Fuel smell 2320

    When I bought the boat the bilge was bone dry with just the hint of gas smell which was explained by the sending unit issue. It's hard for me to quantify the amount of fuel that was in the bilge because it was mixed with water. It was definitely more water than fuel but there was no doubt raw...

    Fuel smell 2320

    You are right.... everyone I have talked to has been friendly but unfortunately they haven't done what they said they were going to do. The email they gave me to ask for a for the stringer layout doesn't even seem to be monitored.

    Fuel smell 2320

    Yea it was pretty darn full. The fuel sender is very visible on the 2320 and there is no sign of fuel coming from screws.

    Fuel smell 2320

    Hey Brent, I only see one fuel pickup at rear of tank not too far from sending unit and it's tight with no sign of leaks. That being said, the foam at the rear of the tank is moist and smells like gas but I attributed that to the fuel sender leak from a couple seasons ago. the hose to the...

    Fuel smell 2320

    I'm assuming that their test is definitive. Seems like they did a good job and gave me good info. It would be great if the previous fuel leak is what I'm smelling and seeing now but that leak happened in 2020 and I would have thought that the fuel would have evaporated by now. I should add...

    Fuel smell 2320

    I am the new owner of a 2007 2320. Unfortunately, during my first trip out I had a very strong smell of fuel in the cabin along with a mix of water and raw fuel in the bilge. I have had the tank pressure tested and it appears to be ok. The dealer put 4.5lbs of pressure on it and it held for...

    New Parker owner

    hey, quick introduction. I've been boating most of my life and have been a fan of Parker boats for a long time. This year I pulled the trigger on a 2007 2320. I will be using the boat almost exclusively in the southern Chesapeake Bay. I have an immediate problem with the boat (gas smell in...
