Gas Tank Vent tube.
Hey Gang~
I need some basic knowledge here. Warning: looking for a quick but safe fix. Safety first, of course. I just moved my gas tank to under the bed and I need to finish plumbing it up. My question is: aside from getting a filler neck assembly from a junkyard, can I just run a tube into a filter or something up above the level of the gas tank to get the gas pump to shut-off automatically and not dump fuel onto the ground ( )? Right now I have a fuel filler hose (60 bucks WTF!) to a neat filler neck from the marine supply store, but there is an open fitting on the tank that normally vents back into the filler neck, but I'm wondering: can I do something else? The basic thing here is that I'm short on time, so i'm trying to avoid a trip to the junk yard to pick up a filler neck from a donor car . Okay, fine, I guess the question really is, what is the minimum thing I can do? I already have the one way check valve plumbed in to let air in as fuel is vacuumed out by the fuel pump (got this from a motorcycle shop), so at least that is legit. Thanks everyone!
