On my bayliner I notice when I fill it either with a funnel or gas pump, the vent pukes out water and fuel spatter. Its vent hose goes from the in floor tank up to the transom wall. It has an upwards loop in it the stops water from getting in the tank, however, the water does lay in the outer portion but never makes it thru the loop.
Problem is, it makes the water look like a rainbow. Some people say "lookout" you will get a fine, others say most boats puke a tiny bit out during refueling. Should I be concerned?
On edit:
Is it illegal for me to refuel out of a approved gas can at the dock, using a funnel? I use a blanket to keep the splashes (very minimal) out of the water, then I hang it up on my dock pole to air dry.
