Re: Stus-List Fuel vents

Michael, I can see what you were going for and I think it would partially work. Ideally a larger drop-out tank could be attached to the drain fitting and a fluid sensor added. In my case it seems simpler to just re-plumb the vent inside the adjacent propane locker or up a lifeline stanchion. I

Hey Terry, Sounds like you're new to the list. Welcome. The plumbing systems on our boats are varied in nature and not particularly C&C specific. Your best bet is to get the pump specifics (make, model, serial) and look for a discharge check valve part from the manufacturer. If you don't have

Re: Stus-List Fuel vents

The best of vents will have the high point of the loop on centreline. Not practically achievable on many boats and the extra hose cost and perhaps tortuously labour to install is not tolerated by most... but it is "Cadillac". You will probably be sinking by the time water enters the fuel tan

Joel, all vents should be looped as high as practical. That is just common sense and anything is sloppy workmanship. Joe, my fuel fill is on the outboard sloped portion of the combing so spillage ends up in the same area as the vent opening, easy to catch with paper towel in place before fi

Re: Stus-List Fuel vents

I don’t think it would work. This fuel-water separator works on principle of fuel being lighter than water (so it floats on top) and it can separate small quantities of water from (large quantities of) fuel. The problem on hand is a large quantity of water (and no fuel) entering the line. I thin

Apples and oranges. The fill – where you add fuel – on the 35 MK I is on top of the coaming. If you are a sloppy refueler some ends up on deck and some in the cockpit. This does not meet 2015 ABYC specs, although in all the decades I have been fueling my boat this has not proved a significant is

Re: Stus-List Fuel vents

ABYC and USCG requirements say that fuel exiting the fuel fill at 5 gpm for 5 seconds cannot enter the cockpit while in its static floating position. So it depends on the slope of the coaming. If it doesn't slope outwards most likely some would spill into to cockpit. There are requirements for se
