Went out on my mates Tornament 2000 Bluewater which is running a 130HP Yamaha Saltwater Series 2 Stroke. The fuel Filter on the Back has a resivoar on the bottom of it which you drain any water build up out of when it is needed. However today we were getting a strong fuel smell coming from the back of the boat when we were underway. On inspection we found that this resivoar was filling up with fuel and leaking slowly out of the drain which is only supposed to be used to drain and water out of the bowl when any build up of water is evident. I may be stating the obvious here but is there any chance this filter is faulty as it is not even a year old and the engine had it's 20 hour service about 5 weeks ago I am not that familiar with the Yami's as I have never had one so I am hoping someone here can shed some light on this issue so if need be we can get it fixed.:)
