What I'm wondering is if you were seeing air bubbles and mistook it for boiling gas  Check your gas lines to make sure they don't have any holes in them and maybe replace your filter, if they crack they can leak air and cause running issues.
Edit: I missed the part about it boiling in the tank, as well. However, something still seems off about this |
That gas was at a rolling boil, like when you cook ramen. If I was able to post a video here, I would have shot one for informational purposes.
As for air bubbles, being a gravity-fed fuel system any leak in it would just allow gas to drip out. It's fuel-tight, no leaks anywhere.
Thank you for the suggestions.
