[QUOTE="Frankenfish, post: 479896, member: 25701"] Man, you nailed it with the spilled mower gas. Really frustrating, between the EPA requirements for vapors and the whatnot else put on as flame arrestors. I just bought a new motor and it came with a solution for this pressure into the outboard. It has one of these between the tank and the bulb to prevent the pressure reaching the outboard. https://www.amazon.com/attwood-9300FDV7-Fuel-Demand-Valve/dp/B0053HPOBU The tank still has to withstand the temperature and pressure fluctuations (which they say it can :---) ). Seems to me like a band-aid for a problem that new regulations created. I haven't used my tank with it enough to have an opinion on them, but keeping the engine from flooding with gas is nice.
