Re: 29s.....problems getting fuel in.....
And I do. Last time I was there was over the summer when it was 2.80 a gal and the pumps stopped at 75 bucks, it was very crowded and the lady behind me went ballistic on the 4th pump reset I told her that she might be mad now, but it would make her horny later!!! (she wasn't bad looking)
It's 2.25 now........I have a 525, so I get to put 87 in it.

When I got my new 38TE I had the dealer take it across the street to fill it with gas. It's a 300 and 125 gallon tanks. Gas at the BP station was 2.50 something and on the water at the marina it was 3.69. It took many pump reset's and about a good 45min to fill. Small station with a lot of pzzed of cars pulling in and waiting.

Same problem with my 35. In order to set the nozzle at full, I have to twist it backwards so the back of the trigger is touching the upper gunnel. I then proceed to thickly paper the entire area around the filler cap with about 50 sheets of the station's paper towels. This catches the fuel that spews out prior to the auto shut off. Then it's just a simple matter of wadding up the towels and throwing them away. However hard I try, I just don't have that "Yoda" sense to tell when it about to blow.
I fill mine up at 4:00 in the morning (160 plus gallons) just before the hour and a half drive to the ramp. Much easier to maneuver around the pumps that way...

Had this same issue on both our 27 Fever and 29 Fever. Both were equally as bad. On the 29, even if you only heard it gurggle out the vent, after you were completely done fueling, closed the cap and leaving the gas station, it looked like a NASCAR pit stop event with gas gushing out the vent as you started off down the road Our 35 twin step didn't seem to have that problem, but, just like others have said, with 2 fills and each on opposite sides of the hull, i would park in the middle of the gas islands and fill one from each side, at the same time.
