Sea Pro fuling problems

[km32359]

I have a 21v center concole Sea Pro Bay Boat. I have problems when I am putting fuling in. The fuel backs up in the filler hose and over flows like it is full but it isn't. Does anyone have simmiler problems and if so what did you do to solve them.

Thanks,

[What a mess]

Your tank has a problem with the vent. If air can't get out fuel can't get in. There was a thread about this a while back do a search.

YA NEED TO RUN A WIRE UP THE VENT LINE TO YOUR TANK, DIRT-DOBBERS LOVE TO BUILD THEIR NEST THERE. I PUT A PIECE OF MASKING TAPE OVER MINE WHEN I COME IN, BE SURE TO REMOVE BEFORE YOU FUEL UP AGAIN.

I hate to say it, but it sounds like the same problem I had with the filler hose between the gunnel cap and tank being too long and having a crimp in it.

More than likely, if you don't fix it, the filler hose will eventually get a hole in it at the crimp from rubbing on the inside of the hull. When that happens, you will begin to see and smell fuel in your bilge.

See my post in the thread that Tom Keels linked you to. Feel free to call me on my cell if you have questions (850) 528-0714.
