OK - this may sound like a really stupid question - but today was the second
time it has happened to me. This is our first season w/ our boat - I tow it to the lake and fill it on the way home at the local gas station. I normally wait until it gets to about 1/4 tank before I fill it. I know the tank is 40 gallons - so I usually put in about 30 gallon. The first time I filled it - I had no idea how much gas was in there and the gas just spewed over when it was filled - it was not like a car where the pump would stop when its full. Anyways - yesterday - same thing happened again - filling it up and whoosh - out comes the gas all over the side of the boat. ****ed me off b/c I just spent time cleaning and waxing it. Anyways - maybe im just an idiot - but how does one fill the tank w/out blowing gas all over when its full. Thanks, -R |
