gas cap vent

[willy]

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.

Reel and I both had 74 and 75 and had the same issues with the vents. We moved them above the rub rail were there is a slant up, worked perfect!!
