I have the same problem with the 55 gal tank in my MaXum.
Same rear fill/vent arrangement. If your problem is fuel
spurting out the vent at 30 gal, the resolution is to fill
the tank *very* slowly. If I do this, I can get about max
capacity. If I fill it fast, about 35 gal before the vent
spurts.
The problem is the fuel sloshes back and forth in the tank
during filling, causing premature vent surges. If you fill
slowly, the problem is minimized.

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?

I appreciate all the input, Unfortunately filling on the slow, or first
click on the handle is how I could get 30 gal in it. If anyone else has an
idea I would love to hear it.

Check that the problem isn't that the filler hose is routed in such a
way that it is actually lower the the top of the tank at some point.
I had that problem on one of those B-brand Boats and until I
re-reouted the hose. I had to put all people and gear on one side
while I filled at the other or it would back-up.
