Abstract

Apparatus to prevent fuel spillage from a fuel tank vent is provided for use in combination with a boat mounted fuel tank having a filler tube leading thereto from a fuel filler fitting mounted to a surface of the boat and a vent line leading from the fuel tank to a vent extending through the hull of the boat. A member having a hollow interior which may be generally cup shaped and has a removable cover member is mounted substantially flush with a surface of the boat, and in close proximity to the fuel filler fitting. The member has a fitting in the interior thereof which is connected to a first section of vent tube leading from the fuel tank. The interior of the member is also connected to a second section of vent tube that leads to the vent extending through the hull of the boat. When the cover member is on , the interior of the fuel tank is in communication with the vent. When the boat is to be refueled, the cover member is removed and a fuel collection container having a line with a second fitting complimentary to the first mentioned fitting is connected to the first mentioned fitting. Then the interior of the fuel tank is in communication with the container and any fuel overflow from the first section of vent tubing is collected in the container. When fueling is complete, the collection container fitting is removed from the first mentioned fitting and the cap is replaced on the member. The interior of the fuel tank is then in communication, through the first and second sections of vent tubing, with the hull-mounted vent.
