Hello! We have been enjoying our new to us 2018 R23 this summer. Awesome boat! I have a question about the fuel fill. I am using one of these feel pumps on 5 gal cans:
TERA PUMP Next Gen Rain-Proof Gas Fuel Pump with 4.25-ft Long Discharge hose, Battery Electric Siphon Pump with Auto Stop System for Car Trucks Fuel Cells Tractor Generators Snow blower
https://a.co/d/7g70hAC
It works great when I hold the nozzle just so… but if I try to just leave it in the fill hole the fuel backs up and shuts the pump off. Sometimes it just spills out without filling. This happens no matter if the boat tank is empty, 1/2, 3/4 etc…
I live in Rural Alabama and have not had the opportunity to fill the boat directly from a standard gas station pump….and the marina on our lake is $7/ gal.. so that’s why I use 5 gal cans exclusively.
I have read the post on how the enviro fill system works. My question is if anyone has been successful in modifying/removing ot and going back to just a straight hose fill system.
FYI, my little pump I got works great on all my other water toys (bass boat, jet skis etc…).
Thank you.
