Thanks, Colin. I thought it was coiled that way on purpose to kind of stem the flow of any gasoline… Kind of like adding well casing higher and higher to stop the flow from an artesian water well.
I will add the check valve and shorten the hose. Cheers.
I should have clarified, I think what they did is exactly what you say. Instead of putting a valve in they just put a length of hose to put some backpressure against fluid flowing out. You're best off to have a check valve and a small length of hose going no lower than the top of the rollover valve.
Bartamos is right though, you could have another issue that's making it pressure up. Is it only doing it while sitting, or does the tank hold pressure after you go for a drive?
It seems unusual that fluid would come out of the rollover valve if you don't fill the tank above 3/4. Are you sure it's the rollover valve fitting? As Bartamos was saying, some tanks are set up for EFI. I'm wondering if the hole you're feeding into actually has a pickup tube in the fuel in the tank?
I've had the same issue happen before but not with the vehicle sitting and it has to build a considerable amount of pressure to flow out of the vent if the vent tube isn't in the fuel. It looks like a car tank of some sort with the rear fill? It might have had a vented cap at one point.
Love the look of your '46, by the way. Awesome patina…
Thanks for the comments, I love it too! Your truck looks great, I love the interior, you did a great job!
