Clean or replace the vent. Mine has a metal mesh inside in that was
thoroughly corroded. I sat it in a dish of CLR overnight and it looked new.
Now that I know what it looks like, I'll replace it next time for about $12.
(Until I took it out, I wasn't sure what it looked like to buy a
replacement.)

As you have guessed, your vent is stopped up. Remove the vent line and
clean it out good. Would not hurt to remove the fuel line and make sure
it
is good and clean also if possible. As for how fast/slow the fuel flows
is
all a matter of how the boat was manufactured. The
shorter/straighter/steeper the hose - the better it will flow. Long hoses
that bend, turn and lay flat are a real pain.

I have always had a hard time filling my gas tank up. When I would go
fast it would spill out the vent. I even made a thing to catch the gas
as it spills. But today, the second gas stop of the season, (the first
was to top off the tank),when I went to fill her up the gas came out
the tube that I was trying to pump it in. I tried all different angles
and even had them slow the gas down as much as they could. I even went
to a second gas station. I could not get even a cup worth of gas to go
in with out comming out. 2 gas stations, a total of $7 dollars of gas
and I don't think any of it went in the tank. I am thinking that
either the gas hose or the vent hose is clogged, bent, squeezed or
creature has moved in. I even tried to put a coat hanger in to see of
I could find anything.
I KNOW THAT THIS IS ONE WAY TO KEEP MY GAS COST DOWN BUT.........
Does anyone have any ideas thanks
