The first time I fueled the boat up this season was on land on the way to the marina. It was on dead E at that time. I have a 58 gallon tank. I was pumping away and at the 40 gallon mark fuel came spilling out the vent. When I started her up the gauge was barely at 3/4 full.
Two weeks ago I filled her up at the marina. The gauge read 1/4 full. After 23 gallons fuel came out the vent. I tried to pump a little more slowly and it came flying out the fill spout. I started her up and it barely read 1/2 full.
Is it possible that either my gauge is messed up or I am having some type of vapor lock not allowing the tank to fill?
