Need some help/fuel problems
When I make a stop with full fuel tanks gas spills out of the vents. I have relocated the vents above the rail and replaced them with new vents. Still happens. Any ideas? Here are some pics. I'm not sure they will help.

What year is that bobby?
Did the same thing on mine and haven't noticed any problems. Can you get the loop in the hose higher to make it a little harder for the fuel climb up? Looking at the picture, it looks like the hose drops below the top of the tank then back up to the vent. Is it possible some fuel is trapped in that loop?

Didn't think of that. Could be the fuel is laying in the loop and each time I stop it keeps pushing it further instead of flowing back into the tank. Is the loop necessary?

No, it's just easier to connect everything.
First try to manage the loop up higher with tie wraps or the like and see if that improves the problem.

Petrus, you got a point there.
If you had the vent below the rubrail and the water was jetted up along the side of the boat to the vent , it would be possible for the water to gravity flow into the tank. That being the case the loop should be immediately after and above the vent. In bobby's case all he has to do is push the loop higher and secure the vent hose above the vent. His vent location wouldn't allow water to jet into the vent.
