Groundhog246:That implies something wrong with the venting system on your fuel tank, and THAT is downright scary. If the gas ( I assume it's gas powered) tank can't vent and the temp rises much youcould find it forcing gas out via the fuel line/carb and even with running bilge blowers before starting, experience a very large BANG. I check all hoses, hose clamps, etc each spring before we launch. All though hulls below the water line and most other hoses, if the nipple has space, have 2 s/s hose clamps on them, not just one.
Many problems can be experienced with a clogged fuel vent line as you point out. I need to stop assuming the most complicated fix to what can be a simple problem/fix. If I would have just opened my gas cap I would not have required any assistance. I learn every year. Tow Boat US is now part of my standard boat equipment.
