slow to top off fuel...

Post by tomcat rio »

...this funnel helps a lot. i guess it vents better due to the larger spout area. in any case, its faster with it than without it.
i did notice that my rubber fill line does sag below the top of my tank. it also loops under the vent hose!
i'll get to that after haul out. this funnel also has a strainer.

Looks like someone went on a shopping spree at West Marine.

Tomcat,
Here's thread from earlier this year about the same thing. It ended up taking me about one hr. to clean the vent line, move the hose, and things back to normal.
