Mine will leak out the vent if I fill it too much. I always know about how many gallons will fill it so I listen very closely while filling and one I hear a gurgle I stop. Have not had any problems with it ever since.

I would think that if you use the vented filler that I showed and run another vent line from that filler to the outside as a second vent, it would probably solve the problem when sitting on the trailer. This way, with the filler in the from of the tank he could raise the tongue of the trailer up and it would still vent from the larger filler hose in the front of the tank.

Thanks all!!
I fill it and leave on the trailer so I don't have to find a gas station at 3 am I put the bow own last night to un block the vent, but I bet I have a boat full of water right now!! CB I saw that vent cap also, but was thinking it needed a hose from the tank to the cap?? If you just put a hose there and on side of the boat it would be great! I have tryed to not filling it all the way but I not to good at it, it really doesn't make muc h noise till pop The boat is going to be on a slip this year, at least in part, I am worried that its going to do it there? And I have to fill it there as the gas dock isn't going to be open in the early morning.

Just run a vent hose from the small fitting on that filler to a vent outside the boat. Done.

Mine does it on the trailer, on the water, don't make a diff. I think I will try running a new hose this season.
Can't believe I have had two V's with six years age diff and they both do the same thing and no one else here has run into it. Maybe it was just Jersey delivery boats, b@stards.

MJ, you going to get one of those gas caddy things to fill up the Ox? My old man used to fill up his (now my) V while it was moored out in the harbor. He was too cheap to go to the marina for a fill (can't blame him really). Anyway, we would row out in our little Dyer pram with 3 or 4 5 gallon cans and use a hand pump to pump it in. Got a little dicey if there was any chop coming across Scituate harbor. Nary spilled a drop though.

Hope those vented fillers solve your problem MJ. When I rebuilt my V, I replaced the vent lines and looped them and every since if I fill it completely full it will leak out the vents when I brake and slosh the gas foreward. My V has saddle tanks. Ive been thinking about relocating the vents higher up and more foreward on the gunnels.When I pull it a good ways, I usually stuff paper towels under the clamshells covering the vents to keep the gas off my hull! It works ok.
