I'm tired of it taking 20 minutes to fill my tank. What were the modifications to the fuel vent hose you did to solve that? I can't find the old post that had pictures. I like pictures.

I was going to move my intake port on my 2014 920 until I found a plastic tank in my boat. I was so hoping that I had an aluminum tank...... didn't get so lucky. Had I had the aluminum tank I was going to cut off the original fill port and move it to the side of the tank.... The problem is,,,,, the fill hose is almost 4 feet long and it lays horizontally from the fill port on the tank to the fill port on the boat. Liquids like to run down hill and they move very slowly when traveling on a flat or even slightly sagging surface or hose. This is one complaint Phoenix boats has been getting for years now and they still haven't done anything to really help with this problem.
A second idea I have thought about is adding a thicker bunk board on one side of the trailer, so that the boat sits at a leaning angle. This would work, but look kinda awkward going down the road.
When filling my 920 when empty it will take at least 20 minutes at the pump and I'm always prepared to get gas puked out on me and the boat.....

have you tried pumping with the nozzle upside down? works for me.
Drewtick, it's a 2015.
1fejj, it flows with the nozzle upside down but not much faster.
What really sucks is I need to wake up a half hour earlier if I plan on getting gas on my way to fish a tournament.
Phoenix919proxp, So changing out the vapor canister to straight hose does the trick?
How do I remove the seats again? Pull the center cushions out and access screws? The poke around to find the screws to the gas tank cover? Are some of those on the deck area as well?

There is about 4 screws on both sides of the top piece....i had to remove the whole seat to access them.....pull the bottom seat cushion out and then unscrew seat.....should be able to feel the screw heads in the carpet....also should be equidistance from each other.......

There is an easy fix. Just turn the handle upside down and play around with how far in. I can run any pump wide open and no cutting off or gas out on me till I overfill it
Looks like fishin Couillon answered how to get the seats off and the deck lid. I never had a problem with mine filling, but that was the cure at the time that seemed to work for best. My dealer told me about it as well, but like I said I've never had a problem.
Maybe I'm just lucky, but I have filled mine up with no issues. It's a 2018 so maybe they changed something.
quess im lucky mine works fine

My 18 was miserable at first now it's slot better. Handle upside down helps alot. Still irritating when I'm just pumping along and it gets to 90 percent full and fuel comes flying out like a fire house at me. Oh well
they did, I have not had any issues with my 2018 and dealer told me what they changed but I can’t remember

My 2016 fills fine. I read somewhere on BBC that the fuel hose may be to long and have to much of a bend in it.
