Default 06 GTO fuel cell venting.

Using a Behind Bars Race Cars fuel cell. Im getting a small amount of fuel out of the vent when the tank is full. The current vent is -10 hose coiled a couple times on top of the tank and then out the right rear inner quarter panel. Is there an affordable solution like a fuel discriminating valve (think Nascar) that would keep the fuel out. I cant really run the vent up any higher in the car.
Thanks

A fuel vent catch can or I have had guys retain the factory EVAP setup on these with good luck.

The factory evap is gone. Is that adequate enough when the vent needs to be huge and were running a 4303 pump with a -10 feed and return.

If I installed a vent catch tank how would I do it? Run the vent into the bottom and then continue it outside the car from the top of the tank?

The factory GTO vent is pretty big and have had several guys get it to work. The vent can we have tank vents in the side then it has charcoal to keep some of the smell down but has a breather on top so it will vent back to the trunk could possibly run a hose from the top out to the bottom of the car or somewhere outside.

Im going to build a little vent/charcoal canister to mount above the tank and then vent it out the inner wheelwell. Thanks for the advise Nasty.
