was filling tank tonight and the tank was building up pressure, tank was venting but not fast enough for the flow.had to pump very slow. is there a check valve in vent hose or the fill hose or could there be a restriction somewhere? |

My chap does this if you accidently get gas in the vent tube cause it overflowed (bad design of the integrated vent/fill combo). It's very NON EPA friendly how to fix the issue: Blow into the gas fill with your mouth hard and quick and move the **** out of the way. A good cup of fuel half a second later comes gushing out of the system about 3 feet out the back of the boat and usually clears up the clog in the vent tube. Continue filling as normal. |

Yep, gotta be careful filling to not get any in the vent line. |

On the older boats with separate vents check to make sure the vent on the outside of the boat is not clogged. They are not easy to access from the inside... |
