Blue Wave Fuel Filling Problem?

[keakar]

I'm sure its just like the gas cans now where they are so afraid of fumes getting out that gas cant flow. first thing I do after buying a gas can is rip the damn auto close valve off it and make a vent hole and stick a bolt in it when not in use.

if it would matter I bet you can rig a simple valve to bypass it for refueling then have it still hooked up if it ever came to be a required thing they might check for. at least for now I don't think they check stuff like that but at one point they might.

I am thinking about doing that with a valve and a Tee that way I won't smell the gas fumes when I take off.

In case anyone curious. I blew out the vent line after and before canister. Boat filled tank 100% full with pump wide open and never stopped until the fill hose was almost full......boat was level on trailer

Did you blow the before one back into the tank? How big is the hose that goes to your canister?
