Re: 1993 Angler 204 wa. I'm wondering if the thru-hull fuel vents both connect to the fuel tank or is one for venting the area between the cap and the hull. I have no access through the gunnel to check and I'm trying to avoid having to make an access hatch. Safety first... :confused:

Re: Fuel tank vents

If I read you right, I have to create an access hatch to run a new vent tube and thru hull cap. I guess I have a bit of work to do...

Thanks

Re: Fuel tank vents

i know nothing of yer boat specificaly.
fuel tank vent is a seperate item from bilge vents. the fuel tank will be a small vent in the hull like these....http://www.iboats.com/Marine_Store/...033232--submit.Search--submit.x.0--submit.y.0
bilge vents will be larger holes with 3 or 4'' drier vent lookin tubes connected to them. on the outside, one vent will face fore, one will face aft......
bilge vents and fuel tank vents are seperate systems......
