Before Orlando jumps in, I will offer: 1) do not keep over half a tank of fuel, 2) do not heel more than 15 degrees....but seriously,  is this a new problem or just a new question?  Does the problem happen on both Starboard and Port tacks?  AND lastly it is a heel angle as opposed to an angel--but who cares?   OBUOY #219  Ken

and angel it can get quiet strong.

There does not seem to be any leaking fuel.

Any thoughts?
