Want to trade Glenn?
LMAO!!!! No thank you Brad. I lived in Tampa for 5 years and know all to well about swamp @$$ ROFLMAO!!
I'll keep my dry heat sir ....

I know it's not kinked, but I am thinking it's not venting.
Either way, all of it is getting changed. If I have to drill a hole in the cap and run a hose down to the rear bumper like a dirt bike, it's happening lol.
Would that pass tech though?
What's the fuel system configured like? Including the gas cap and evap system.
Most newer OEM fuel caps are designed to relieve both positive and negative pressure beyond a certain threshold. If it's getting that much pressure it should be venting on its own. Otherwise it has to rely on the vent in the evap system, where hopefully your canister isn't plugged, and your vent valve (or any other valves the system utilizes) aren't stuck.
And as far as building that kind of pressure, the main mechanism (that you have control over) is going to be heat. Unless you've got your exhaust really close and right in front of it, the main source is going to be return fuel. Might be worth a look at where that could be getting heated, or installing a fuel cooler. High fuel temps will lead to not only lots of evaporation and pressure in the tank but can also cause cavitation issues in the fuel pumps and loss of fuel pressure as well.
The old foxes actually did have a drain hose from the filler neck area down to the back bumper.
I don't & have never subscribed to the " park it for 5 months " theory. I maintain that it does more harm than good. If there is no snow & no salt, ( after a series of rain ), the car goes out..To be fair, when the northern guys have their cars parked for 5 months because of snow and freezing cold and it’s 72 and sunny here, that’s when we get our revenge.
Here in Minnesota we have salt on the roads for 5-6 months. So my cars stay put. The thing that harms them the most is just starting them periodically during the winter months.I don't & have never subscribed to the " park it for 5 months " theory.

I don’t think I’ve ever laughed so hard at such a messed up comment in my life. However that’s hilarious.I guess I didn’t even need a thermometer to prove the point.
The 53 overcooked aliens in the semi trailer in San Antonio is proof

Totally different platform, I know, but I chased a fuel heat/tank pressurization issue for *years* and finally figured out that I was running too much pump. When I went down to a lower-volume pump, it didn't heat the fuel as much and the problem is almost totally gone now.It was a ****ing nightmare last weekend.
I didn't check the temp on Saturday but it was probably close to 100, on Sunday it was 104.
I'm fighting an issue where it's pressurizing the tank and blowing the fuel out, it's getting back into the car. The entire interior is covered in spots from fuel splashing everywhere. Hella dangerous.
I put my fuel jugs into the camper with the AC cranked and had the back end of the car covered to keep the sun off of it. It makes it like 3 laps before it happens again.
Holy shit? Really?Totally different platform, I know, but I chased a fuel heat/tank pressurization issue for *years* and finally figured out that I was running too much pump. When I went down to a lower-volume pump, it didn't heat the fuel as much and the problem is almost totally gone now.

I don't think by the class rules we can run a different than stock pump. I'll have to read it again and see if there is an option but that's really good news if it's that easy.
Also, is this on your fox? The other SN guys don't have as bad of issues that I do, but they still do spit a little bit of fuel.
So many people I know go out in the garage and fire the car up and rev it for 2 minutes every weekend in the winter....Here in Minnesota we have salt on the roads for 5-6 months. So my cars stay put. The thing that harms them the most is just starting them periodically during the winter months.
I've let my cobra sit 5-6 months without starting it. Been doing this for the last 12 years with zero problems.
Yup, no shit. On the foxbody. I was running a 190lph, then a 155, and I think now I'm down to the stock pump. At one point many years ago they pulled my sticker and wouldn't let me back on track (not that I was going to anyway) and that was a *night* event. It was pissing fuel out the filler. Over the years, I tried the following and probably more:Holy shit? Really?

Early morning or late-night cruise by the coast is nice for me before the heat of the day.I have to admit I’d love to have that luxury. However my cars are my work vehicles since I drive them for work. I wish I had a work vehicle dedicated for such. However I don’t tend to beat on them in the heat. I cruise, and use cruise control mostly for work.
That’s a fact sir! It helps on the track that’s for sure, doesn’t do me much good on the streets however. Tires don’t get warm enough hah. I enjoy the hellcat for work, and cruise the others at night because it’s more spirited driving. Having an automatic for work is awesome, to much stop and go for me.Early morning or late-night cruise by the cost is nice for me before the heat of the day.
I have to say there is a good side about cruising in south Florida, few mouths out of the year when the temps dep into the 60's
Gota love that free HP . LOL
How would anyone ever know what in-tank pump you are running short of measuring pressure?I don't think by the class rules we can run a different than stock pump.
Some people never learn.So many people I know go out in the garage and fire the car up and rev it for 2 minutes every weekend in the winter....
LoL.Lots of weak in this thread.
I lived in the Colorado desert where it was 107 and the high altitude sun adds 25F of radiant heat, driving a 92 Tercel with the only accessory was power brakes. I beat the snot out of that 250K mile car. Cars love heat. It was fine.
I lived in North Dakota, starting my 89 5.0 when it was -50F and waiting for the engaged but slipping clutch to generate enough heat and friction to move the car at just a few miles an hour for the first mike or so. It was fine.
In either case, the car didn't give shit about the weather, and did just fine.
