But don't make that mistake again because could put too much pressure on tank and how it is mounted in place but should no cause any problems running engine.
But also when heeling could spill fuel out vent which has happened to me and did not over fill like you did.

It will not cause problems running the engine but if need to bring those panels down before you burn enough fuel, just siphon or pump some fuel off into a jerrycan through the fuel intake.
Re: NO
Thanks for the info, not sure heeling over would spill? large loop in vent line at vent opening. Will be motoring this weekend. Should level out after few hours!
