    Default Gas tank question


    I have a little 14' double wide jon that I have recently purchased two 3 gallon tanks from walmart to place in the back of the boat to get a little more foot room in the center of the boat. I filled the tanks last weekend and took the boat to the coast to rabbit hunt the spit islands south of Topsail, no luck hunting. Last night I went into the garage and the tanks have leaked out quite a bit of gas over the last couple of days, probably a half cup each. Is there any way to keep these 3 gallon tanks from leaking due to expansion and contraction? The lids were on tight.
    Thanks, Fishengineer

    Leave caps loose so pressure can excape when tanks are not in use.

    Leave some headspace for expansion.
