Hey y'all, I have a fuel tank issue. It goes like this. If I fill the tank too much, gasoline leaks past the cap, while its parked, in the heat of day. Thus is not an overfill issue, as I stopped adding before there was gas up to the top of neck.
I know what is happening, I think. I believe it is the result if the fill neck being located on the side of the tank, as opposed to the top. As the gas expands or vaporises due to heat, it pushes gasoline up the neck, and past the cap. A vent on the top of the tank (check valve) would probably fix this problem, which I see others have had.
Has anyone installed one, or found any kind of safe, reliable fix? If you have a new tank, does this problem still come up? Where is the fill neck located on new tanks? Thanks
