Well I just learned something new. I have a new 1750 fish hawk and with anything new, you learn something new every once in a while. Well my latest episode had to do with the gas line going from the cap to the tank and vent tube. Well I didn’t realize that the vent tube on this Perko gas fill was located next to the gas line under the cap. So when I tried to just pore gas from a gas can into the tank I ended up filling the vent tube too. So no air could escape and poof the gas line filled up. So what to do. Well I just happened to have a small plastic hose, the type one would use on an aquarium to supply air. Well I fished that small platic hose down into the take and then blew air into it creating a temporary vent.
So what did I learn. You have to fill the tank by putting the gas hose down into the gas line otherwise you end up takeing a bath in gas like I did. So I’m keeping the small plastic tube with me just in case it happens in the future.
