Hi, * * * I have a 20 foot fiberglass cuddy with a built on swimming platform on the stern which is
where the fuel fill opening is and the fuel vent also. *I'm replacing the fuel fill hose which is 1 1/2"
internal diameter and very stiff . What i'd like to do instead of bending the hose into an "S" shape
to get it from the spot it juts from the floor near the stern or transom wall on the starboard side to the*
chromed metal fuel fill connector on the swimming platform wall is to move the fuel fill opening to the
starboard side just above and to the rear of the plastic vent for the engine compartment.*
Is this going to be a problem with possible fumes being sucked into the vent for the engine compartment
or will the screw on fuel fill cap take care of these fumes ? Is there a coast guard regulation on this placing
of the fuel fill opening ? My boat was manufactured in 1990 and as far as i know this is where the manufacturer
originally placed the opening on the swim platform.
