how do you modify breather tube for gas tank on 200pro xl to stop spitting gas ?

when filling up, gas spits out fill hole, i saw some discussion on here before, just wonderin how to fix mine.

I turn my gas handle upside down..helps some..would think somebody has found a better way

Yep, on my 201 I turn the handle upside down and put the fuel in at about half speed...anything above that and it will burp back out. I also try to short fill it and leave it about 5 gallons shy of full since I will never use a full tank anyways...

Just gotta go slow.

I agree with AB. Nozzle inverted, start out slow, then if you hold your mouth just right you can feed her pretty fast. Really makes a mess if you try to top it off.

I pull in to the station to fill with the tank on the high side if the concrete has a little slope or as above mentioned. I have been told that the tube sags between the tank and filler cap, creating an air gap, but I have not pulled panels off to fix it yet. you would think that Stratos would have addressed the by now.

[AB]

They have on the 07's and up. Completely different vent design.

I carry a 12'' piece of a 4x4 and run the trailer up on it on the fill side and that seems to help.

i saw somewhere on here, maybe another topic? but, the discussion was something about shortening the tube inside inside the tank to give it more air as the fuel level rises? i dont remember,i may have misunderstood what they were talking about,but i know it was a stratos boat fuel tank issue.
