I might could get a 45 deg position but that would put the opening of the
vent (in the side of the boat) below the highest point of the hose by a
couple of inches. Maybe worth a try. If I have to limit the fuel to only
24gal total then I don't have enough to get out in the Gulf (and back).
I'll check out the product at West.
Thanks,

Does anyone know of an "inline" product that would act like a check
valve,
would work in a horizontal position, and fit my 5/8" id vent hose.


The vent line MUST be able to flow air in both directions. When you fill
the tank, air has to escape out the vent. If you had a check valve that
prevented this then you would have a terrible time filling the tank.

They make some nice shut off systems that involve a floating ball that
plugs
the vent when gas enters the vent line. These need to be installed at
least
at a 45 degree angle in order to work, so if you don't have room for that
then you may be out of luck.

I think your best bet is to simply not fill the tanks so full.
