Pumping gas at the gas station, I always spill!

I use these in my boats. They work well if mounted vertical or nearly so. They have other models as well.

if you are getting fuel spilling out of the vent when fueling then you can do something like this: Fuel Whistle
And i've seen these work pretty good too, but the company that made them has discontinued it..not sure if anyone else makes one... No-Spill tank

Most boats sit on water ass down. Boats with rear fuel fills will fill harder because iof this. The fuel fills and vents need to be in the air void of the tanks. If liquid is covering /blocking them when trying to fill, these problems happen. Front filling and venting tanks are typically easy to fill, unless boat is tilted forward down for some dumb reason.
For people with rear fill tanks, try unhooking trailer and crank down frt, then try filling. Should be easier unless fuel fill or vent hoses run at some dumb flat or upward at some point.
summary: both the fuel fill and vent connections (along with the rest of the fill hose/vent lines) at tank should be higher than the fuel level itself.

Mine still spits out even with a front fill and vent, on the water as well.

More info on the Lifeguard unit here;

The RACOR Lifeguard Marine Fuel / Air Separators meet USCG pleasure craft requirements and allow fuel tank top-off without overboard spillage.
