Default Re: Gas tank vent issue

That does not sound safe at all Steve... if i'm reading this right, you're able to blow through the vents but your tank still swells? I get the same issue with the whole gas coming through the vent when its at almost full, hate it when we are at the fuel dock just kind of twiddling out thumbs waiting for that moment of "OOps almost there" as we look the other way. One thing we have as a help is the flo-scan is dead balls so we know when to baby the trigger on the nozzle... but if you can blow through your vent I would really look into that. If its a poly tank that E crap may have gotten to it. when you disconnected it did you kiss the vent and try to blow through that too. hose could be fine but the fitting could have gotten a mud wasp of something... boat supply stores have an inline device as well you can put on the vent hose basically a whistle that when the airflow through the vent increases as you get closer to full the louder the whistle gets... Let us know what you find
