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

When my diesel tank is full or close thereto, and the boat heels I can smell
diesel in the aft cabin, and the depending on the length of time of the heel
and angel it can get quiet strong.

There does not seem to be any leaking fuel.

Any thoughts?
