Gas leaking out of tank vent

[eville]

I believe it's that same roll over valve causing a fuel odor on my car under load. I have a II Much Fab. vent on the bench waiting to go in... part of me thinks I should throw in the towel on this Tanks Inc and get a Ricks restomod with the internal regulated pump.

The II Much Fab should solve the problem? I mean, if you want to throw a grand at getting another tank, go for it, but you already have a solution to the problem..

I don’t think a iimuch vent will fix a tank that has a lousy vent design. Garbage in, garbage out....

At least this has been my experience.

A properly installed IIMUCH vent will fix this. Its unlikely you will need to replace the tank.

Hi John. Didn’t you do a bunch of work with Ricks to get their tank vents redesigned? The reason I ask is I have one of their older vent designs and it stinks with your vent.

This is what I’m referring to. According to instructions the tank vent will need to be redesigned for the iimuch vent to function properly.

If the fuel tank does not have a vapor dome, properly located vent ports(s), or the application, such as off-road or road racing, could cause the fuel tank vent port to be submerged, relocation or additional ports may be required. If the application has two or more vent ports they can be joined with a T fitting and a single hose routed to the VSR. Failure to address this could result in liquid fuel bypassing through the VSR, pouring out on the ground creating a fire hazard.

There are a lot of factors, but i’ve worked with a lot of Tanks Inc. customers and generally don’t have a problem getting them sorted out. I have made suggestions to some of the tank manufacturers based on customer feedback but generally speaking everything I know about the problem is captured in the installation instructions for the IIMUCH vents. And yes, sometimes the tank vent strategy needs to be modified or abandoned.

By the way when I said garbage in, garbage out I was not referring to iimuch vents. I was referring to tanks with lousy vent designs.

No worries, I didn’t take it that way.

I’m sorry, I missed this somehow, you may have an unsafe setup there depending on few different factors. Send me an IM or call 888-216-6033 and we’ll figure out what’s going on. I’m confident we can get this sorted out, but Its imperative that you not fill the tank past a few gallons until we figure out what is going on.
