Forgive me if this thread is in the wrong category, So i have issues with filling my tank. The tank was installed by the previous owner and the boat was sitting for a year and most of the time it was previously owned. I've been using it frequently this last month and when i try to fill the tank with diesel, the fuel doesnt like to go into the tank. It takes a long time for me to fill because while filling it acts like it is full, the fuel with float up in the filler neck and takes a long time to go down. The first time this happened the vent was cut into and i blew air threw it and Fueling began to go smooth again but that was a while ago (may). Lately(yesterday), i can hear the vent bubbling but the fuel does not want to go down. It makes it difficult to know how much the tank needs when you dont have a fuel gage and you dont know 100% what the fuel consumption is. The hose that is connecting the filler to the tank is pretty long and comes down in a "U" shape but i didnt think it would be this difficult.
any suggestions? or cut the filler hose shorter and it will solve the issue?
