    New boat/ gas tanks

    Got new caracal went to fill up and open gas caps wow lots of pressure built up. It does this on both tanks. Anybody else’s does this? I’ve had 3 other basscats and this has never happened. Any thoughts. Thanks.

    My 15, 16, and current 17 all do it. Its a sealed cap. Wanna see a show, open the back compartment and look at the tank as you vent it. That joker swells in and out a good bit!

    What tank configuration? I had 33/10 on my caracal, the 10g vented alot and was tricky. The duel 26's on my puma fill at full speed, with the nozzle pointed towards the bow.

    Retains 1 pound of pressure when sitting.

    Vents when vacuum develops.

    EPA diurnal fuel regulations.
