Answer 2

OK, here you go. I have a Chris Craft also and in it the tank(s) are located in the back of the boat with a line running from the top of the tank to a shut off valve, then from there to a pump mounted on the engine, next through a filter on front of the engine and finally to the inlet of the carburetor. If you have a fuel leak, you will smell it first and then find the wet residue later, there will be a color to the residue and it should be kind of sticky. My suggestion to you is to locate the line from the tank, I am assuming you have checked the tank itself for leaks, rub the line with a paper towel looking for the residue I spoke of earlier, if you find nothing, check the connections t the carb and engine for any looseness. Another possibility is a leaking bowl on the carb or possibly a sunken float in the bowl of the carb. If you need more information I am at: [e-mail]

if so there should be an other tank.
