Since my 19 foot boat with a I/O sits stern down in the water, should a fuel tank be installed level to the deck or raised in the rear to allow a better fill? My tank is a moller 19 gal installed under a rear seat and vented through the hull.
A friend mentioned I should tilt the tank, but that does not sound right to me. A max filled tank would just spill fuel overboard as the stern goes down with increased throttle. Am I thinking correctly?
