need to vent Im running a ricks tank with a fuel injected ly6 w/ evap deleted from computer. I have until now been running a line from the vent-looped--with a small filter at the rear of the car and typically pee some gas from the filter especially when tank is full. Whats the best way to handle this???
The filter needs to be elevated above the highest point where fuel will ever be present.

Get a "check valve" Summit sells one under their brand name, just installed one on my car for this very reason. Flows only one way, any fuel coming from the vent has NO chance to flow past into a filter.
GM sells one as well, one application is for 91 Camaro RS. GM part number
10033125, called a valve assembly.
Good Luck

What kind of car? This may help us figure out the highest/best place to run the vent to. I ran the vent line in my 69 camaro up above the rear end, and fastened it to the highest section of floor/trunk area. Its above the tank height, but its not on the road yet & don't know how well it will work.

68 chevelle -currently the vent exits the frwd upr drivers side loops over the tank and is secured with a small filter at the end. I have an access door for the fuel pump in the truck floor and wonder if a charcoal canister mounted in the trunk and then exiting back through the truck floor would solve my problem. There not much height to take the vent line up higher without entering into the trunk Im just dont under stand if its fuel slosh, what others are doing different.

Summit Check Valve Summit Racing SUM-220192B
Fitting Size 1 -6 AN
Fitting Attachment 1 Male threads
Fitting Size 2 -6 AN
Fitting Attachment 2 Male threads
Check Valve Material Billet aluminum
Check Valve Finish Black anodized
After the check valve, continue a line to the highest point possible. I terminated the line with a small fuel filter, since the tank will create a vacuum draw through this check valve, filtering the air would be wise.
Don't hesitate to be creative here, use common sense. The tank sucks in vacuum through the vent line, check valve prohibits fuel from rushing out the vent line under "full tank situations" combined with braking. After the check valve add some type of filter.
Good Luck.
