In fact, the guy I talked to actually talked me into a lesser bladder (I have the cross linked poly unit) from the fabric type I had been eyeing, he said there'd be less vapor release, it'd stand up better to the crap additives that the fuel companies are forced to put into pump gas (remember WAY back when that gas used to smell good?), and for a part time track car I'd be happier.
And yes, the obvious solution is race gas, Matt is so smart. Or something like that. Overall, it's not that bad, so don't stress about it too much.

Yea, but would my idea work out right for regular street tank vent system. Was thinking it might be a fix. I just bought a vent bung today that has a check valve in it (in case my car ends up "upside down". Now I want to find something to shut off the fule pump if it senses a certain number of g's (or whatever). I know it's out there, just can't remember.
Could've put it in on Friday but I need the morning install so I have the "right light".. need an opening shot and maybe a cover shot. It's much faster when you don't have to shoot and document the whole process.
