[QUOTE="LDUBS, post: 443347, member: 21536"] I'm not an expert and don't want to give you bad info. However, I agree that a vent would seem like a real good idea. I would think that a vent on top of your deck/hatch coupled with the space under the bench would provide for a good airflow. I think you are smart to have concerns about this, particularly if the space is going to be shared with a battery, elect connections, and/or bilge pump. Thinking about this, I wondered if any portable tank with a vented cap is intended to be used as an under deck tank. Logically, I would think not, but then it looks like lots of bass boats have portable tanks in enclosed compartments. I assume those compartments are vented. I wonder if they are partitioned off (probably not). Hopefully some of the bass boat guys will weigh in. [/QUOTE]
