Considering we now must use a 10% ethanol blend in the marine world, make sure your hoses (Fill,Vent, Feed) are alcohol rated.This new fuel will disolve rubber, plastic, aluminum, and fiberglass.Also make sure your lines are "double clamped", and the fuel fill port is bonded to the ground system, the fuel tank(steel/aluminum) is bonded including the sender plate to the common ground.
Another killer is the fuel sender plate. Traced a fuel odor in a boat to a completely corroded away aluminum fuel sender plate.Hate to think what 200 gal. of fuel would go uplike.When you do "Fill Up" (even though you should not do something like that) ,estimate the number of gallons you will need to be reasonably full for the day`s activities. Should you be completely to the top of the tank, you just might be a bomb waiting to go off if your sender develops a leak.
