Gas pouring out of gas tank...
Hello.. need help to figure out WHY gas is pouring out of gas tank...
Car is a rod.. 1936 Chrysler, has a 318 engine with a mid 80's auxiliary gas tank. mounted under truck. All OK for first 20 plus years.. Last 2 years gas on occasion pushes itself up fuller spout and out , screwing up fender pain. Even after 100 KM since last fill up. Car just sitting in car port... for days before it does this.. siphoned out a liter or so and happens again without cap on Please and Thank You We do appreciate you taking your time to help us figure this one out.. as it is a mystery to us! Thanks again Arev |

Re: Gas pouring out of gas tank...
Sounds like the tank is pressurizing. I'm not sure of your set up, but if you installed a vented tank then your vent may be plugged. If you have a vented cap, then you may need to replace the cap.

Re: Gas pouring out of gas tank...
Thank You for your reply..
the strange thing is . it does it without the cap on! and we did replace the cap.. and also had it tested and it works find.. this is a head scratcher for sure.. the guy that build the car had it for 25 years before we bought it.. and we had it for 10 years.. and just the last 2 years this is happening. there is no vent on the gas tank other than the gas cap.. you have any other thoughts? Thanks again |
