Gass Fill Z9 spitting Back

[wesgillock]

2008 Z-9 spitting gas back filling it up. Finally found the problem. The vent hose is installed with a big dip in it between sides. When they built the boat the bracing between seat back and live well the holes for vent tube was drilled to low causing a dip in the line lower than the line is in diameter. Cut line loose and re routed seems a lot better now. Will still spit sometimes but not as bad

I had the same problem with my 2009 Nitro 898 I had to raise the vent hose up with to get the low area out of the hose and was finally able to fill the tank with no spit back.
