I have had many B bodies and they all seem to like to drip gas out the vent lines when the tank is full on hot days.
The line that runs up into the trunk is usually no problem but the short line that clips to the crossmember likes to vent out gas. Anyone have a good cure for this? I plan to just make a new line that runs higher up to get it further above the fuel level.
And yes the lines are clear.
I recall someone mentioning the lines may need to be swapped.

I have read that here several times that on some of the repo tanks had the vent nipples changed up. I'd try switching the lines and see if it get's better.
