Filling Up

[Mikeski]

My 211 fills no trouble, I just stop when I hear the vent gurgle. If it wait until the pump clicks off it will spill gas out of the vent when we step in the middle of the floor of the boat (presses down on the plastic gas tank). In general I am not nearly as meticulous with my boat.

It's funny, I was most meticulous with the $10k 1984, less with the $20k 1995, and even less with my $50k 2005.

all you have to do is put a loop in the vent hose, now for the gas coming out of the fill tube thats just operator error.

When the loop fills up with gas , you don't have a vent any more. The check valve is the best way to prevent the vent problem.[/quote]
