did'nt think I could fill her all the way initially..... only abouit 3/4 or half..... then I started filling real slow and she would fill all the way. I need the roll-over check so she dosen't spew when I turn, but the filling aspect is still an issue. I have 3/8 hose wrapped around the filler neck routed to the top of the fuel fill port for my vent, but it dosent seem to work... any help appreciated.

I have to slow fill my tank, or it backs up. Any pics would be great. Or you can email to me at john@ls1tech.com and I will host them.

this is what i did but it seems as though its not good enough for some, but the way i see it: does not leak when turning tight right turns or up hill. i can fill it full blast at the pump and no spill either

Mine is nothing special. I can tell you right now it has a K&N filter at the top extactly like the one for you air system whit a aftermarket lid. Then I just ran the hose in a loop like slowhawk told me he did on evils car. The filter is tucked in the inner fender right above the filler neck. And I drilled holes in the inner fender plastic so air could get in there

btw in the other thread it says that ive tried looping the hose and that didnt work after a few right hand turns itll still come, but i didnt run the hose that high
