Re: question? You don't have a vent on your fuel tank. Loosen the gas cap. The new caps don't vent well

Re: question? What type of fuel line do you have?
Is it the grey colored fuel line?

Re: question? Make sure your tank is vented either through the cap or through an overflow line.
That blue hose is junk. It has a plastic liner on the inside that the ethanol will cause to lose its adhesion to the hose inner wall.
You can check this by getting a short piece of the black hose and drop it in a portable tank. See if your bulb collapses. If it doesn't collapse, you have solved the problem. Replace that junk.

Re: question? Cut that blue hose open and look at what you see. That plastic liner will be separated and collapsed.

Re: question? Now I have! LOL
I have the gray in my hull from when it was built. I replaced the blue in the boat at the camp with the black. Looks like I will be re-routing fuel line beneath another floor, soon! How long was that one in service? Looks like it just got brittle. Certainly can see the gasoline enamel staining.
