T&T: Fuel Tank Woes

I think the filling issue is likely the LT100s - I had these on my previous
boat and had the identical problem with fueling.  Turned out to be a trap in
the line after the LT100.  I had to really pull a bunch of stuff out to
track the line and find the trapped section.  Once I raised the line to
eliminate the trap (and secured it better than the installer did) I was able
to fuel that 330 gal. tank at full speed.  I think Racor has the install
guide online and that was helpful to me (if I can find it in my files I'll
send it off list).
