Do you have any suggestions on how I could fix this?


The idiots put the tank vent fitting right next to where the fuel is
spraying into the tank. As the fuel splashes into the fuel that's already
in the tank, it splashes back up to the vent hole to get sucked up by the
outgoing vapor, sucking the fuel up the vent hose and overboard causing
that woman in the sailboat to start screaming about global warming, again.
Install another vent on the OTHER end of the tank and block off the
original next to the filler inlet.

We're all lucky boat companies don't make toilets for the home!

Why not just put the vent on the other side of the boat so the friggin'
woman can't see it?

When my boat started burping, the vent line had shifted and had a loop low
point. I rerouted the line and all is well. I do have a check valve in the
line, but that stops the burping out the overflow, but the fuel backs up the
fill spout as the air can not exit the vent when there is fuel in the vent
line.
