Problem: I cannot pump from marina pump into boat gas tank, while boat is in the water. I have tried when the water is calm also.

I take off the gas cap and I see gas floating in the neck of the tank about 2 inches below where the cap screws in. I know I am down to 1/4 tank from the amount of hours using boat.

I had noticed the problem last time out last year, the first time I tried to put gas in while on the water.

I filled the boat on land before launching it for the summer.
I keep it on a lift. I went back to the boat next day while it was on the lift and the gas is no longer floating up near the cap.

Many Thanks in advance.

Perhaps your gas vent line is closed?
