Ok I have fueling up my x19 it just won't accept gas very well. Anyone have a solution.

Not really I’m on my fourth Xpress and none have taken gas very well. Check the vent to be sure it’s free and from there move the gas nozzle around until you find the best angle that minimizes the blow back of fuel.
Turn handle up side down.My was the same way at first then it after a while it started taking gas
Never had a problem with mine. I had a triton that would not take gas. I had to just barely stick the nozzle in the tank. It would gurgle and spit but would take gas.

I have tried everything but nothing seems to work.
I have had this problem I added a bypass before the charcoal filter and that fixed it . Open when fueling, closed normally

I always open or loosen the gas cap on all of my boats when I leave the house, and gas up a few miles down the road. That usually speeds up the process.

I guess it depends what year boat? On the older ones like we have had I ended up moving the fuel fill to the top of the deck and rerouting the hose to eliminate any issues. The newer ones eliminate the stupid charcoal canister. CJ

Fixed the problem by using a piece of 3/4" ID hose long enough to pass through the check valve in the gas fill hose. The gas nozzle fits into the hose and push hose past the check and it will take gas at least as fast as my truck. Even tried it on an uphill incline last week without a problem. I tried all the solutions I read about with little or no success till this.

I had the same issue with my RT 198P. Took forever to trickle gas into the tank.
Found the vent line had gas in it due to a small dip in the line going to the tank.
So when the tank was below half full, I blew into the vent side of the fuel cap. Yeah I did. It cleared the fuel in the vent line and then I was able to fill the tank as normal. You could always use a air nozzle to give the short blast as opposed to blowing in the vent line.
MAKE sure the tank is more than half empty, so you do not blow gas back up the fuel line.

The prolem is the ventlation system sucks. i have tried all kinds of things on my x19. I now just keep a driver tool next to the tank and unscrew the hose clamp and pull the vent line off the tank to fill it up.
I had the same thing and what i found is the fill nozzle is not high enough above the tank to work to 100% efficiency. I had to cut my fill tube and make the transition in the tube straighter. That with turning the nozzle upsides down fixed the issue.
