Diesel smell


And here I go...first night on the boat last night, wanted the full experience. When I first came on board I notice some residual diesel aroma. I opened some windows but there was no breeze, so it took a while for it to go away. Never fully went away.

I found a topic on this forum where people have had leaking aux tanks, etc. I did not see any leaks nor did the survey pick up any fuel leaks. When we did the sea trial I noticed a bit of the smell but I also dont know how long the boat was sitting closed up. After we drove it around, the only thing I smelled was residual exhaust, or so i thought.

How normal is this and does it really require a lot of cleaning? Curtains, carpets, bilge, etc.

Maybe I'm just being a little paranoid. The boat goes to the yard for survey punch list items on Monday. I will bring this up to them for further digging.

Any recommendations on what to tell them or what look at specifically? Thanks in advance!
