Yes, it works very well.
It sounds like a tea kettle. I wasn’t really able to mount it as low as I would have liked, it’s only about a foot vertically from the vent, so you probably only have a second or two. But It stops and I stop and no fuel goes in the water. 🙂

Aaron,
I’m curious about what Rich asked. Does the fuel vent whistle whistle when fuel sloshes around in the tank? Seems like the sloshing would move some air in and out of the vent line.

What is causing the whistle to whistle when the tank is filling is the volume of air being displaced by the incoming fuel. Fuel sloshing in the tank would mostly move air already in the tank around not push it out the vent. I doubt there would be any issue with wave action causing an annoying side effect –

Not that I’ve ever heard. Though to be quite honest I haven’t given the boat a real pounding since installing it.
I would think that if it were bad enough of a ‘slosh’ to whistle that the wind and waves would be proportionately louder too and overpower it.
