[QUOTE="LDUBS, post: 495028, member: 21536"] If I recall correctly, the epa tanks are supposed to vent at 5 psi. Out of curiosity, what brand is the newer EPA tank that seems to be working? I had a similar problem in my previous boat (15', 25 HP). I couldn't fit a 6 gallon. Had to use a 3 gal to fit in the stern area. Good news is it turned the gaso over relatively quickly so bad gaso wasn't a problem. Bad news was I carried a small portable gaso can most of the time. Never had to use it but peace of mind and all that you know. Not much help I'm afraid. IMO, the 6 gallon is worth it if you can make it work. I think I would take a hard look at Airshot's approach. I wonder if the seat box could be modified to fit the tank in the transom area. Probably not practical, just a thought. BTW, 90 & 100 deg days are common where I fish in the summer. It never occurred to me to worry about the tank being exposed. Most of them in small boats are sitting out in the open. [/QUOTE]
