Maybe you oughta check and see if your vent hose is pinched somewhere. If it is all new, it should be able to vent easily without building up pressure. Or your new vent line may not be ethanol compatible and swelled shut.

Its all new and ok I looked today. But the gas tank is filled right up!! I think the vent is blocked with gas, and thats why pressure is pushing gas and not air??
I will fish tomorrow and not fill it again and see what happens.

air will always escape before a liquid will escape due to it being far less dense. it sounds like your vent when the boat is on the trailer is lower than your fill. and if that is the case by have a air tight fill cap if the vent hole is lower the only way for air to get out is through the vent and it having fuel in it the fuel will naturally shoot out. just a theory

All sounds good but I can put a level on my boat right now and she is level!
I will say after looking at all today it seems like the vent and fill are at the same level?? And being as full as it is, I think you are right that the vent is blocked. It makes sense!!!! I am just going to use it tomorrow and not fill it, that should give me he room I need, we shall see. I spoke to another guy today that I know he said that happened on my big boat also,I said how did you fix it?? He said I didn't it still happens sometimes!!  Thanks guys!

I've experienced at the marina, that we always have at least 10-15 boats every year that start shooting gas everywhere when the weather starts warming up. And even in the summer time, if we get a REALLY hot day the same thing will happen. Just try not to top off your tank untill it spills out of the vent and that should give you enough room in the tank for expansion when the weather changes. I've even seen some boats do it on random days when we haven't had big changes in the weather.
