I give up! If you go back and read the thread it just might become clear.

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.

Things done at the last possible minute are done with the greatest possible information. Procrastination is, therefore, the most efficient means of doing things.

Thanks Van,

I have added the new vented gas cap, so far nothing has leaked out either vent, (YEA!!)
3 years ago when I bought the boat the gas tank was not working cause of blocked vent, (Found only after removing the floor tank cove (: ) and at that time replaced all hoses vent and fill so i am all set there.

As been pretty cool out and I think the tank is down a few gals from the test run I did with the boat last week, so Iwill need to fill to the top to see what happens. But when it was leaking before and I removed the cover it would blow the cover off in my hand when the pressure was released, so I think it will work now??

I will let you guys know after I fill it next week, again Thanks all!!
