Default Re: SF18 factory 47 gallon fuel tank filling problem

When i first got mine it would only hold about 25 gallons (37 gallon tank I was told). I finally found out the tank was backwards ;vent and fill were at the rear. The hitch on my truck was set high for my other trailers and therefore held the boat at an angle when fueling up. Pump would shut off but gauge would only read 3/4. I think I was also dumping fuel out the vent on quick accelerations; Not good! Sorry Mother Nature. Pulled the tank, turned it around and it solved the problem. Fill and vent up front, sending unit a third of the way from the back. Since then, I've done away with that tank and shoehorned in a 60 gallon set up the same way.
