I filled up the tank on my 1997 17 foot Outrage and it seemed to expand and leak all over my hull. This happened 4 weeks after the fill up. It ruined my decals and stripes and took me some time to getting the boat back looking good again. Has anyone had this problem and is there a solution. Thanks

Where did it leak from? If it was the vent tube, check to see if you have a loop in the tubing between the vent and the tank. You say it was 4 weeks after you filled it, were you running at the time of the leak.........it's possible that is splashed out and you didn't detect it until later.
