Has anyone used this type of fuel tank vent?
Have you had good success?

It kind of looks like one I used to see on a few aqua sports.

The boats came new with one mounted just below the rub rail. it actually stuck out beyond the rail and was often the first item to be broken off by the noobes.

That looks like the exact same one on my 17 footer.....Seems to work fine.

It says on the description I found it only sticks out 1 inch. I hope I don't tear it off. lol

I have this one and I have been testing it. Do you have to unscrew it when you go out and back in when you are done. I wasnt getting any air in and just found it was shut. I am hoping this is my backfiring problem. Any thoughts?

Re: Fuel Tank Vent

I was just curious about using this one because the anti siphon is built in. The stainless steel one seems like a stupid design.

Could be.A closed vent line will can cause a lean condition and a lean engine will backfire.

Here are some chrome and flush mount vents..
