Gas goes into Tank 1/2 gallon hour . Stays in filler line and makes it impossible to fill gas tank

Welcome to Iboats,

Tank must have a obstructed air valve/line whatever, does not lets air in so gas flows straight into tank.

Happy Boating

Your tank is vented to the outside of the boat via a (usually 5/8") hose and fitting on the outside of the hull. That's what you need to check first. Fuel can't go in unless the air in the tank can be pushed out the vent line. Some boats have a combined fuel fill/vent in the same deck fitting, but there are still two hoses going to the tank- one fill and one vent, and the same caveat applies. Figure out why your tank isn't venting properly.

Is this a new boat? or a new problem?
Boat newer than 2011 have a valve at the bottom of the fill hose to prevent Splash-back.
If the valve is stuck, very little fuel will get past it.
