Weird question skeeter bass fishing boat about filling your gas tank

to I think I can do that if I actually put the nozzle in “upside down”skeeter bass fishing boat  and try it.  That way the tube & the nozzle are bending the same direction.  I’m lucky this only happens on the boat and would be so frustrated it if it happened everytime I filled my truck like in your case.  I’m guessing you found a solution to your problem pretty quickly.

Re: Montgomery Bonner’s comment about touching the gas nozzle to the boat’s fill tube. skeeter bass fishing boat He couldn’t be more right!  It IS one of the first things taught my wife and myself at the U S Powerboating safety/seamanship school many

You’re right about both of these things.skeeter bass fishing boat  Here in CT, you can’t operate a boat w/out taking a safety course, unless you want to pay $200 each time you get stopped, and they taught us so many “basic” things that you might overlook. The note about eliminating the spark is very important.  I believe one of the top causes of boat fires happens either when fueling or immediately after if you have an I/O or an inboard & don’t run the blower before starting the engine…not a problem with outboards,

Response:

I’ll have the dealer check for any weird bends when I bring it in for it’s 20 hour check up. skeeter bass fishing boat You probably have a sharp bend or maybe even a kink in the hose going to your tank. Take it back to the dealer and let them check to see if it was installed properly .

Response:

Mark, check the vent, sometimes the vent line gets gas in it, AND WON’T LET THE AIR OUT… I have that problem once in a while, i just blow out the vent line….tastes bad, but it works..skeeter bass fishing boat

Monty, Went to the B. A. S. S. K-mart 150 tournament on Lake Mead near Las Vegas, last weekend (Wednesday through Saturday).skeeter bass fishing boat  One of the Pro’s boat burned down to the trailer while he was charging the batteries, and another pro’s tackle, trolling motor, and all his stuff was stolen out of the boat.  One had the Outboard come off his boat due to the wind/waves and one blew up his lower unit.

Sounds like a typical day on Lake Mead.  That place can be a humbling experience even on a good day skeeter bass fishing boat

sounds like a typical tournament to me…..except for the theft. — John “Mini” Maniaci US Code Title 47, Section 27(a)(2)(b), a computer/modem/printer meets the definition of a telephone fax machine.

what do you mean? Lake Mead isn’t humbling, unless you catch less than 5 bass..This is thebest lake..Who was this pro?..well Lake Mead does have the highest crime rate for a national recreational area..oh well..I love it… TTB

Response:

I mean that stuff happens all the time…wind rain, chargers exploding, etc….I have seen my neighbors garage on fire at 3:00 am fueled by a procraft w/a dual pro…. if you do it enough…it will happen to you….hmmm wonder if he will get the hint… — John “Mini” Maniaci US Code Title 47, Section 27(a)(2)(b), a computer/modem/printer meets the definition of a telephone fax machine.

Re: Montgomery Bonner’s comment about touching the gas nozzle to the  boat’s fill tube.  He couldn’t be more right!  It IS one of the first things taught my wife and myself at the U S Powerboating safety/seamanship school many years ago. If any of you have an opportunity to attend one of these (usually taught at a local high school in the evening) it was well worth the time.  Many people don’t know how to read the buoys ( coming or going???- Red on Right Returning – ) or which side to pass on.  They clearly don’t understand red/green light rules of the road. Neither would I if it wasn’t for the Power Boating course.  All this from a blowboater at the time! Your insurance guy will also give  you a discount for taking the course…  Rich – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – I just got a new boat recently & have had to fill the tank two times. Here’s the problem: No matter how deep into the gas tank I stick the nozzle, the gas trigger pops because it thinks the tank is full.  It’s a real pain because I have to keep starting over after literally 1/4 of a gallon.  To fill 20 gallons took about 10 minutes today.  Any ideas?  The dealer said to stick the nozzle in all the way & go slow, but that didn’t work any better. — Mark CT Bass Fishing –http://skippermark.com/ To reply to me directly remove the NOSPAM from my e-mail address.

I saw a bullitin at a Ford dealership that said there have been several serious  fires caused by filling metal gas cans that were sitting in the bed of pickup trucks with plastic bed liners. The plastic bed liners insulate the can causing static electricity  sparks to occur when the gas nozzle touches the can.

The correct answer is above, posted by Angler.  This problem also exists on my truck.  The neck has a sharp bend on it and the tip of the noozle gets to close to the bend, which can cause the noozle trigger to activate.  Back it out a bit and make sure the tube of the noozle lines up with the filler tube so the flow of gas is shooting towards the center of the bend.  You will have to play with it a bit, but you will soon find the right angle. — Good fishing.

Response:

Rich, I have to do the same thing.  Between the faster gas pumps, the bend in the gas line and the gas line diameter, the back pressure backs the gas up to the nozzle, making the automatic release trip.  I have to move the nozzle in and out to find the point where the least back pressure occurs. Bassman

- Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – The problem normally would occur when air pressure backs up into the spout, causing the “full” cutoff to engage. I try to slide the pump nozzle way back nearly OUT of the hole, and lean the nozzle to one side. This appears to allow more air to escape naturally as I fill, instead of trying to escape by back pressuring the gasoline flow and causing the cutoff to engage.  Do you have a separate vent for this tank? Could it be blocked or partially blocked? That would also contribute to the problem. I saw a guy spend nearly a half hour trying to fill a 60 gallon tank with a blocked vent! RG

This message is for all of us Bass fisherman.  When filling the tank, make sure the nozzle touches the metal ring at the top of the fill hole.  This will allow the gas pump and the boat to have the same voltage potential, and no sparks will occur.  If a spark should happen, well you know, by, by bass boat and a whole lot more. Went to the B. A. S. S. K-mart 150 tournament on Lake Mead near Las Vegas, last weekend (Wednesday through Saturday).  One of the Pro’s boat burned down to the trailer while he was charging the batteries, and another pro’s tackle, trolling motor, and all his stuff was stolen out of the boat.  One had the Outboard come off his boat due to the wind/waves and one blew up his lower unit.  All in all, it was an experience I won’t forget in a while.  I saw some very difficult weather situations, and these guys all caught fish. I got to see in person the Great Bass Fisherman we have come to know, and have pictures of Rolland Martin, Jimmy Houston, Kevin VanDam, and many others.  If you ever get the chance to see a full fledged tournament you should take the opportunity.

Pull the nozzle out until it doesn’t do it anymore.  Sometimes the bend in the neck it too sharp for the flow of gas (in gas stations with strong pumps).

That can happen with small diameter fill openings.  You might try a different gas station.  Find one with slower pumps or less sensitive trip switches. Richard Remove the nospam to send e-mail.

Look for an older gas station to fill up with… The new stations use a high pressure pump that makes for quick filling for auto’s. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – I just got a new boat recently & have had to fill the tank two times.
