Hi all, I am fairly new to boating and have been having issues when fulling my fuel tank. When I first filled the tank fuel flooded out what I thought was the filling line. The second time I filled more slowly I realized actually it was flooding out the vent line (perhaps it was the filling line originally at full speed!) This is difficult to avoid even at slow filling speeds as the petrol pump doesn't cut out on its own - I guess because the vent is mounted lower than the filler plug? Anyway, looking inside the boat there is no upwards u-bend which I understand there should perhaps be on the vent line - to stop water entering/fuel exiting. I also noticed that odly the filling line was completely empty but there was still fuel upto 3/4 the way on the vent line. So my questions are: 1)is the upward U-bend neccisary - could my fuel get contaminated etc? 2)shouldn't the vent let air in and therefore the fuel level drop in the vent line or does it have some pressure resistance such that it only lets air in under a stronger vacuum? e.g. is there something wrong with my vent? 3)Other than filling super slow and listening for the full mark is there anyway to avoid this issue (I noted you can buy clip on bottles over the vent screw). Or is something wrong with my setup?
