Fuel Tank Problem

the vent lines are all new, all the rubber lines are new with new clamps, is there a way to hook up the vent tubes wrong?

the leak is on the driver's side where the vent lines are connected

not really as long as you used the right sized hose. you might want to jack up the back of the car and look for drips. or fill it up ouch!!

what is strange, i have been working on the car for over 4years, never had the problem before, it is only doing this when i get on the car hard and then hit the brakes hard to stop it before going into the garage, all the gas is being forced to the front of the tank.

maybe what it's doing is coming out the filler tube area and running along the outside of the tank to the back.

i did not think about that, i guess i will get out there and get on it in the driveway and then jack up to see where it is coming from,

you might be on to something, i did take the fuel tank back out about 3 or 4months ago and reinstalled , how does the filler tube seal?


thanks

if memory serves, it's stuffed into a large grommet and the tube is secured to the backside of either the cross memger or the bumper.

update: i have found were it is leaking from, it is leaking from the small vent tube, there are 2 vent holes in the tank, 1 is connected to a short piece of vent pipe about 8inches long and the end of it is just open, when i hit my brakes hard the gas comes out this vent tube and runs down my frame and tank

the other hose is connected to another vent tube that is run inside the trunk compartment.

is this vent tube suppose to be connected to something else and when i took out the tank i did not hook it back up right?

how do i fix this?

1 attaches to the line going into the trunk. the other attaches to a small line that i believe should be held to the frame x-member.

do i need to make the short piece of vent pipe longer? never had a problem before?

do you think i need to switch the lines that i have hooked up now and switch them?

the only thing i did change, i went from a steel 5/16 gas line to 3/8 aluminum line, could this change something?

Route the vent as high as possible. Had the same problem with a near-full tank.

so from the pic. do you think i do not have the vent tube far enough up?

i can't tell from the pic. the short vent line is attached to the rear shock x-member and should be higher than the tank.
