A different style "insurance " is at your local Racor dealer. They have a kit that installs between the tank top overflow and the over flow fitting that sticks thru the hull side. There about $50 and quick to install. Beats the simpler/cheaper method of unhooking the vent line and having the fuel vent into the bilge , for disposal overboard where the sheen police aren't.

Fred, At $50 a pop and 4 tanks It can be done cheaper. For a surefire method to avoid fuel spitting over the side from the vent lines see our web page. Click on pictures to see a picture of my " fuel vent recovery system". The same thing can be done in plastic water pipe with a few T's and reducers. They are mounted in the eng room just above the top of the tanks, one on each side. The design allows fuel to AUTOMATICALLY drain to either tank with no human intervention and it is LEGAL. I got tired of the sheen and fuel dribbling on the side of the boat in spite of how carefully I fueled. CCC Charles C. and Pat Culotta Patterson,La.

I would think this would make for a smelly, not to mention, dangerous boat! I sincerely hope no one actually does this.
