[QUOTE="Rat, post: 349102, member: 1914"] Every portable fuel tank for outboards is vented;if it isn't you are looking at a portable transfer tank and is not made to hook up to an outboard. The vent is designed to both let air in and let vapors escape. If you lock down your tank on a cool morning and it heats up during the day it will expand like a balloon ready to pop! Open the vent and it relieves itself! The better tanks will not allow liquid to escape through the vent; this is probably what lckstckn2smknbrls meant. If you crack the fuel cap you run the risk of spilling liquid fuel into your boat; never a good idea. [/QUOTE]
