That would be the first place I would check.

I can't remember if we looked at the vent fitting when we had it apart. It still seems weird that on land it fills correctly and we've heard the air coming out of the vent. We were talking about it Sat. and I suggested maybe there is a baffle in the tank or something that is blocking air flow when we are fueling on the water, the boat lays differently in the water than on the trailer. When you fuel at the dock you have to stand on the same side of the boat as the fuel port so we thought that has to have something to do with it, the way the fuel is rolling around in the tank. As to what Bobby is saying when he is fueling he has been trying to keep it at slow pace but still getting the "burp" of gas every few minutes. Thanks for the answers guys we'll just keep on trying shyte till we get her right!
