stupid question did u read the other posts?

i have a pressure tank which is yes in great working condition

pressure tank acts as a fuel pump using pressure from the crankcase to supply air pressure to push the fuel to the carb.

No, I guess that I did not read it close enough, however, the stupid question remark was not indented to you, it was as it stated just a question that was basic, no offense meant.

There also has to be another vent on the tank, as when the gas expends when boat is not in use, it will push gas out the carb and pressureize the crankcase.

I have never delt with a pressureized gas tank system, but this only makes sence to me.

no so, the pressure fills the carbs, float needle stops flow. the tank and hose is a sealed system.
