Default Glastron GS 229, cant fill fuel tank

Sounds like the vent line is too low and they know it.
As another suggested fill slow and see what happens.
On my bayliner I always filled it w/ the pump set on the lowest notch. If
you filled fast, it would splash back out and all over everything before the
pump could kick off.

Thanks Tony, It is stamped as a 47 gal. it has a rear vent and fill,
Glastron states to "remove your trailer from vehicle and lower bow as far

as
you can then fill" complete bull**** if you ask me. I asked about when it

is
in the water and sitting stern heavy and was told " move your passengers

to
the bow" . This is from Glastron.

If indeed it is a 47 gallon tank then there are a couple of

possibilities.
1. The vent is located below the top of the tank
2. The fill is located below the top of the tank
3. The boat is setting at such an angle that either the fill or vent is
below the highest point on the tank.

If this is not it, then the tank either has something inside it or is

not
a
47 gal tank.

Does any one on here own one of these boats. I cant seem to fill my 47

gal
tank over 30 gal. The dealer has informed me that Glastron knows about

the
problem but has no fix. I find this ridiculous but has anyone else

heard
of
this or has this problem?
