ABSTRACT:
A splash resistance gas vent for venting the fuel tank of a boat includes a body having a bore extending therethrough and a baffle positioned perpendicular to the bore. An annular opening is provided around the baffle and a sloping deflection surface is provided in alignment with the opening and around the bore. A surface between the deflection surface and the opening conducts water entering the opening back out the opening. Additional means, such as a screen mesh over the bore and an enlarged portion of the bore, further inhibit water from entering the fuel tank.
