Diesel Smell

[Scott]

Kerry, FYI several members have such a "sniffer" they are great tools
for propane leaks, ac leaks, even natrl gas leaks...BUT for a fuel
leak??? You may not know or have had enough experiance with diesel
fuel. Diesel fuel is very oily and can run a long way on a fuel line,
wiring harness, structural support among other things, then drip on top
of some carpet in the storage bay. Generally, all are obvious upon
visual inspection. Are telling me that the "sniffer" can follow that
leak back to the source better than a visual inspection??? Mebee on the
left coast they have such a tool but here on the right coast I have not
seen one. George is the member I was thinking about and he is "on" it
now..Good luck Jim with the leak..
