Hi all top site:

Seeking some advice,I tend to get a bit of fuel splash back from fill point if Im not vigelant,would fitting a non return valve at the tank end of the fill tube solve this. Any and all advice would be mucho appreciated

that is usually caused by a very bendy Fuel inlet system, or a vent system that is too small or nearly blocked.

A non return valve works best when under pressure.
It's going to splash more with a non return valve just inside the fuel neck and the nozzle open to outside air pressure, unless it's for Motor racing then you have a proper set up.

So all that it would do is make it a restrictor for slower and I mean much slower filling.

If you dropped the bow of your boat to the ground, then filled with fuel it will go in much easier.

the price of fuel you would need to run it slow otherwise you might pass out watching the$$$$$$$$ meter
