 Topic: Fuel tank 'burp'Posted: April-04-2012 at 10:50pm |

I did a search for "Fuel tank burp' no hits, so i'll post this question:
I have to fill up my tank VERY slowly on my 1997 Sport. If i don't the tank will burp gas out. Any ideas? It seems like it isn't venting properly. Thanks for any feedback Charles |

I have the same issue on my 98 Sport. Checked the vent and vent hose for obstruction they were clear. I think it is the way the filler pipe gets to the tank. I was thinking about running a extra vent pipe but I now just fill from jerry cans with no problems. I just does not like the extra flow from the pumps.

On my 93 Sport it seems to work better if I turn the gas pump handle up to the 12 o'clock position. It flows better for me that way. Might give it a try.

mine does the same thing, have to fill it slowly when using pump gas...As MArk I sometimes fill it using 5 gallon jugs and a hose and it doesn't burp..
guess the pump at max is to much flow for the vent... |

The problem is in the way the filler neck is routed to the tank.
The filler tube makes an "S" bend that are almost 90* turns so when you fuel too fast it back's up in the filler tube. |

That's a problem with most boats, not just CC's.
