Guys,
Today I diagnosed the cause for fuel to leak when filling the gas tank. (see pics)
The 1 1/2" main fill hose connects the filler neck to the tank. There's also a smaller 1/4" i.d. hose attached to the filler neck. That smaller hose routes back to the top of the center pontoon and has nothing attached to it. When I fill the boat, fuel dumps out of the smaller hose. Is this a vent hose? If it is, it's not venting, it's pouring gas out while filling at the gas station. (It has the carbon filter type hardware)
If you look at the third pic, you'll see the inside of the filler neck with a "pitot" tube looking thing with an angle cut facing the incoming fuel flow when filling, that's attached to the smaller 1/4" hose which is open on the end way back under the center pontoon. Should this little fitting/tube inside the filler neck be rotated 180 degrees? Its catching incoming fuel and dumping down the line.
I've tried to find this filler neck on the internet for a diagram but haven't had any luck. Does anyone know who makes it or why fuel is dumping out of this hose?
Thanks…Nate
