Hey, wanted to pass this idea on to you guys and see if you think it would work...
I filled up both tanks the other day and noticed a really strong gas smell. Then I noticed gas seeping out of the panel where that little white plastic bottle is behind the driver's seat. I was very glad I have not installed carpet yet!
Soooo...I read up on this thing and kinda preferred to keep it. Then I thought....NO WAY am I allowing ANY gasoline inside with me in the Bronco! That's the dumbest thing I think I've seen Ford do!
I took the thing out and it was leaking along the seam and the PO had a fire as most of the lines were melted and not hooked up plus you can see scorch marks all in the area! Yikes!
I got some small fuel line and hooked the vents up like this....Aux tank connected to one of two Main tank vents. The second Main tank vent is connected to a fuel filter (flow pointed towards the tank). Then, the fuel filter is connected to the line going to my old charcoal canister. The canister is not connected to the air cleaner, just open to ambient air.
I realize I may over flow into the charcoal canister but I'm hoping the connection between the Aux and Main tanks will help that. If the charcoal canister does get hit with liquid, I figure it will dry out over time. An over flow on the Aux will only go to the Main so the concern is over flowing the Main.
What do you guys think? ?:?
Thanks,
Mikey
