MJ:

I pulled the cover this week and took a look at what I have.
My fill and vent are very close to the front of the tank. The hoses run up together and connect to the gas cap/fill assembly. All integral.

Still when shes covered and the weather warms, I get a bit of gas coming out and evaporating.

On another note. Damn good thing I looked at the system. The gas fill line (about 2" dia.) is showing some age damage, surface cracking and feels real dry. So its time to replace that line and the vent line. too. But I won't do it until the tank is 1/2 to 1/4 full. (That means I'll be doing it at the slip) Right now its topped off. The supply line to the power has been replaced already.
