Default Garage storage

My husband and I recently purchased our first boat...a Bass Tracker Pro 16! One of the reasons we chose the Pro 16 is that it fits nicely in our garage. Well, now that it is in the garage, I'm worried about how the gas tank expands. I know that gas will expand in the heat but I'd like to know if there is anything in particular we should be doing, ie venting, for safe storage. Our garage is not climate controlled and will get hot in the summer but the boat will not be in direct sunlight.

What do you all do? Thanks!

JB

it should be fine. but if oyu are really worried, loosen the cap a bit. but also, have a window cracked. fumes can be nasty smelling. jsut my 2 pennies worth.

I live in Florida and keep my boat in the garage year round.
I have no problems at all.
I don't vent the tank or anything.
The boat is right next to the washer and dryer and my wife never complains about any kind of smell.
