Default Fuel tank vent puking gas !!

I recently installed a Rick stealth tank and am having issue with the vent tube puking fuel.

I have an older style where the vent hole is in the front near the sender. I got the valve Ricks supplies that drops in that hole (its like a tube with a ball valve in it) and have about a foot of hose coming off it. I looped it once and mounted the end about 4 inces above the top of the tank level. I then put a "K&N type" breather on the end to help with the fumes. I'm using the gas cap that came with the tank.

It still seems to puke gas out of the vent. I keep getting gas all over the tank and the rearend.

Obviously alot of guys on here run the Ricks tank, so what are you guys doing????

The only thing I can think of is running a hard line, looping it 3-4 times and trying to mount the top even higher. If anyone has pix of what they did, that would be great....
