Diesel leak in lower compartment

[Eric Perplies]

The 1996 Aquahot units had a problem with the fuel pump. The fuel
pumps leaked fuel. There was some sort of recall a decade ago in
which Vehicle Systems (the owner of Aquahot) provided labor and
material to replace the fuel pump. That time has lapsed.

Remove the cover from the left side of the Aquahot (a milk run). See
if you have fuel on the pan under the burner. If you do have diesel
there you could have a leaking fuel pump or of course a diesel leak
elsewhere. I would clean the fuel pump up with a spray
solvent/cleaner then come back the next day and inspect things.

Note: If the leak is in your Aquahot I would really recommend your
trying to fix it yourself. The Aquahot is very easy to maintain and
has an outstanding manual available. The manual will show you the
location of the fuel pump.
