Check your fuel sending unit for stripped, loose screws. I had a stripped screw in mine and whenever full and jacked up it would leak fuel through that stripped screw.

if you only get fuel leaking when you're filling the tank up and not when the boat sits, check the fuel fill hose, if its original. it's long overdue for a replacement (I just added this task to do on mine)

Well, we replaced the rotted fuel line, then put 24 gallons in it and ran it with the ears. Ran great, no problem. Put it in the bay to run and fish a bit, after about 4 spots, turned the ignition and a small explosion elevated me and my buddy, Smoke came from the forward hatch, with life jackets melting we hit it with the fire extinquisher. After being a bit shocked, got towed back to the dock. Took to our buddy local boat mechanic. Pulled the drain plug and pure gasoline poured out in a 5 gallon bucket then mostly water. Obviously, very lucky. Guessing bad (old tank). 1982 V-20 fisherman with original Sea Horse 200. Hasn't been run much over the last two years with the previous owner. You can also call me a dumba......
