Fuel tank vent discharge 23 CC Inboard and bluefish

Don: I have an idea and I think your the guy, what do you think about fabricating a 6" bronze or stainless piece of tube (with a welded stem connection for the return) and then inserting it into the main fuel fill hose?? Then I can dump the return into the fuel tank without compromising the vent line? What do you think?? [img]images/icons/confused.gif[/img]

Jeff.. sounds like it would work. I just allways like having one piece of hose running from the fill to the tank. You plan on putting this piece in just above the tank right?, so you would have to cut the fill line and place it in between? What size is the fill hose and the return lines.. I'll look around for some material.

Don: I'll verify the hose size next couple days and hopefully you can come up with a "sleeve" for me, need two, I also will check return line size for stem, I think its 3/8" ID. Your point is well taken, but I want to resolve this before I run off shore for Mako/Bluefin if the water ever warms up! Thanks for your help.

Don: Sorry I forgot to follow up as finally got busy with some fishing with the break in the weather...I'll get you this week, thanks. I'm starting to think about re-engineering my console T-Top connection this winter. I need to find a better solution, like the Rupp outrigger breakaway arm with the pull pin??
