I have a moeller 20 gallon permament mount fuel tank that I would like to mount inside my swingback seat on my 19' cc. I would need to have the fill and vent for the tank mounted on the side of the seat.
A mechanic at our local marina has warned me that I shouldn't vent the tank inside the boat. I know I have seen many bay/flats/small cc boats with the fuel tank mounted in the console. Where are they vented? What are my options?
It seems like a bad idea to run the vent line from my tank, which has the vent about 16" above the deck, under the deck and up to my gunnel. It would create a large low spot that if any fuel got in there, it would be trapped.
