Hi I own a 1982 ski nautique 2001.. While sitting at idle or on plane I am noticing a discharge from my gas tank vent. I would like to remedy this problem . The tank is not overfilled and yet this continues to occur. The set up very simple . 90 degree barb out of tank into hose and into the vent. The space back there is pretty tight. Any ideas for a solution? thanks in advance for any final solution . Brian ------------- Jus Fishin |

Has this always happened? Your name indicates your boat has been restored. I believe the original vent line should be longer with a loop in it, which it no longer has. However, that loop is not the best. A simple high point is really why you're after.  Make sure everything back there is grounded as it should be! |

Thanks for the reply..I saw this diagram the other day. Seemed worth trying it out.. Would you recommend the loop or simply a high point. As I recall the space is only a couple of inches . Is that enough? I had seen some fancy gizmos made by Racor ..Just did not seem possible to fit them in the space ------------- Jus Fishin |
