Fueling a 3227

[willysross]

Does anyone else with a 3227 have trouble fueling. I put new tanks in along with all new hoses. Made sure there weren't any belly spots in the fill hoses and I still can't fuel very fast. The old tanks did the same thing but I thought it was the old fill lines.

How about the vent lines? If the air can't get out, it could be causing your problem.

my 320 is brutally slow to accept fuel, but quick to burn it on plane. never thought to check the vent lines.

My 27 Montego fills fairly quickly and empties fairly slowly...even at the 24mph cruise.

My 3257 both fills AND drains very fast!

Ohh well!

My 3227 has no problem. Check the vent hoses.

I put new vent hoses in when I installed the tanks. Think I will replace the vents.

I took both vents off tody and found old bug nests in both of them. I think this will fix it. I will find out next time I have an extra 700.00 to fill it up!!!
