fuel tank vent leaks on left turn

Riptide Motorsport · Jul 18, 2009

I have a vent line ( rubber ) running out and down from a aluminum fuel tank that when is full on left turns leaves a trail of fuel, not alot but I would like to put a ball valve on it so it will vent but not leak.......any one know where to get something like that or have another suggestion?

thanks Steven

www.fuelsafe.com They have roll over and check valves in several configurations.

Put the top of the hose higher than the tank....usually at the level of the filler cap and its a non-issue.

Yeah, Ak's right. Why do you have it coming out and DOWN? Run it up, and leave the end higher than the tank. Naga also has an inline little fuel filter on the vent tube. Keeps bugs and dirt out and the smell in.

Thanks gents, never thought about going higher than the filler, not much room down there (34 ford) but i'll figure it out..........As always Muchas Gracias............Steven

Easier solution. Just make right turns.

You could also route it over to the other side and back and then up to the side of the fuel neck to make sure it won't leak due to "g". But you would still have no roll over (tip over) valve (stock Mustang vent has one built in).
