Default Stop diesel venting when filling tank?

"Dave Isherwood" wrote in
:

Boat is a Carver 530 Voyager and with two vents on either side. When I
fill (even using a normal slow pump) I get diesel fuel venting.
Yesterday I had to add 200 gal. to each side and venting started after
I'd put in 10 gal. I'm at a lose to understand why this is
happening. Foaming seems unlikely as it would need to have filled 50%
of the tank!

Any ideas of what is going on? Or even better a simple remedy that
works!

Thanks,

Dave


While this is probably too expensive of a solution, considering that you
appear to have 4 vents, Racor makes a product called the Lifeguard Fuel/Air
Seperator which goes on the vent line and has worked well on my boat.
