[QUOTE="LDUBS, post: 451482, member: 21536"] Maybe just semantics, but the EPA approved are not fully sealed/unvented. They are allowed to vent after 5 psi. Additionally, keep in mind that if they could not vent, our outboards would be pulling against a vacuum -- not a good thing. I don't know what the formal reg's say, so this might be another of those "IMO" things -- placing a portable fuel tank in an enclosed below deck space is maybe not a best practice. [/QUOTE]
