Well I decided to take apart the gas tank to see why my fuel tank vent was spitting out fuel all winter
on sunny days , there is a tube attached to the vent on the inside of the take so the fill vent and pickup
are all on the same side , the tube runs to the bow end of the tank , it will work fine a high speed
but on level the tube is in the gas, so has any body got a fix for this , I removed the internal hose
but at high speed the vent will have to suck air through the gas since all the gas will be at the stern end
I also read filling may be an issue , if on an incline .. should I add a secong vent at the bow end
like normal boats
