warm during the day the gas starts running out of the vent. i guess i

You are correct. That is why tanks should *not* be topped off when
winterizing.

Leave a little space.

It'll stop once it reaches equilibrium.

What are you doin' filling the gas tanks to stop the water intrusion,
anyway? You'll ruin the boatyard business with this nonsense! Don't you
know you're supposed to be like the rest of them leaving 5 gallons in it so
it can breathe all winter and turn the gas into goo to clog the engine in
the spring?! What a silly notion!....(c;
