[C320-list] Winter surprise

[Warren Updike]

This is a warning, to me, to add a line to my winterizing (commissioning)
list: Close (open) fuel line at tank.
Thanks,

Warren and Pattie Updike

As we come out of the coldest winter in some time. We wonder what surprise
winter will leave with. As I inspect the inside of my boat I realized a
diesel smell as I entered the cockpit. I noticed diesel in the well below
the engine and also more fuel located aft below the transmission and the
stuffing box area. It does not appear to be coming from the primary fuel
filter but leaking somewhere on the engine and setting behind the engine.
The engine is a 30B Westerbeke. I look forward to anyones input regarding
this fuel leak.
