 |
|
Anyone with a Wallas experience fuel leaks during rough seas? We've never had any problems until last weekend in Neah Bay where we were in some rather bumpy seas. When back in the marina we found fuel on the shelf below the stove, and consequently in bowls, silverware, plates, etc.
I was wondering if it's from the fire pot spilling? Could the flame have gone out from water being forced up through the exhaust and then subsequent fuel spilled?
I couldn't find any evidence of fuel leaking from a fitting.

The first year we had the wallas it leaked around the fire pot thingy. I had to take it apart and re seal it with some thing. What ever the dealer told me to use. I have had a love hate relationship with the wallas. Saturday it would not light no matter what I did to it. sunday it fired up the first time and ran all day.
