gas fill

[bassen9]

any one had problems putting gas in ? (other than cost)
my 08 is very hard to put gas in, like there may be a vent problem?

Try putting the nozzle in upside down and pump slowly.

That should get it to work, I still don't understand why they don't have verticle fill tubes....

the gas came up in the fill and would not go down, we shook the boat trying to get an air pocket out? The right tank will fill slow but left tank will not.

I will try the nozzle upside down

thanks

Ditto on the nozzle upside down.

Check to see if the hose itself is kinked. My starboard side hose must have been cut an inch too long and there is a small kink that slows things down.

I had heard that Skeeter was going to double vent the tanks so you dump gas in as fast as you want...guess that didn't happen on the 08's?

if the pump is on a small grade point the boat down hill and turn the nozzle upside down and start slowly and then it will pump normally

the hose on that side is too long and has a large kink in it where gas will not go through... will be an easy fix, just getting to it may be a little tough


THANKS FOR ALL THE HELP

As other said.........turn the nozzle upside down. Pull it out a little so you don't bottom out (I always have that problem.... ).

Any little grade will affect it as well. I fueled up at a marina and the attendant was on the back deck pumping fuel. He could not get it to fill more than 0.1 gal in about 10 seconds. I told him to step onto the dock, and his removed weight allowed it to fill at 3/4 speed. His weight was enough to put the boat on a slant.
