[QUOTE="earl60446, post: 451341, member: 4469"] I have a couple OMC duratanks (6 gal), don't know how old they are, pre 2011 for sure. They do not vent, swell up pretty good sometimes, I either release the pressure with the cap or sometimes I get a towel wet and throw over the tank to cool it down and keep the sun off it. I would not put a portable tank in a below deck hatch, even if the cover was ventilated. I believe gas fumes are heavier than air and will fill the hatch with fumes, that's bad, maybe even fill the whole bilge with fumes, that's really bad. Tim [/QUOTE]
