When you thought you'd filled the tank, air is still trapped in the pie dish void and the fuel nozzle cuts out.

THATS WHY YOU DON'T TOP OFF AFTER THE FIRST CLICK.

TOOmuch vent chamber gives the liquid/air time to settle out and is a great feature........but can't cope with massive west-coast changes in temp out of the ground vs. cooking in 95* ambient.

Aftermarket tanks don't have this feature.
Competing claims to the largest volume compared to the competition?

Carl?

I'm sure it may be still early to tell, but we've had a few 80+ degree days, so wondering how the fuel tank system is working out as far as smell/expansion, etc.?

The vent line connection is low from the back port. Wouldn’t you think fuel slosh would get back in the line and since the hardline is low there’s no way for the fuel to go back in the tank? You would think over time it would cause your hardline to fill up and make the filler neck vent pointless

They Tee together then go up to the TooMuch vent in the trunk. Hope it works. If not I’ll add a expansion tank. The issue in the summer we pump 70 degree fuel into a car when it is 90 degrees out side. The fuel expands and fills the TooMuch vent. OE ad a dome or expansion area for this. In hot rods we want all the fuel volume we can get.

We route the brake lines the best we can on the subframe. Going rear we end up riding them down to the bottom of the car on the sheet metal. Because of the ABS it is 2 rear brake lines.

Now that I think about I think you are correct on the tank vent. I’ll add a overflow tank in the tank before the TooMuch canister.

A little complex but Scott at Sled Alley is really keeping the wiring clean.

Mark, looks awesome! Quick question, where did you source the mounting board and clamp hardware?

Thanks!! Ron

Sled Alley built the board and the wire clamps are just P clamps.

Mounting board looks like ABS sheet
