Default help please !

Hey guys, I'm new here obviously, I did search for this but I didn't see anything that sounded right.....

I recently built an animal and just ran into a problem. I can't find anything online for this ; I have to find a safe way to delete this from car, I caped it and some extreme pressure builds in the tank, it boosts my fuel pressure 15lbs!

I can't be the only person who has came across this. .... help please .

If You capped the Vent tube/line Dont!!! At a Minimum a Rock filter & short pc of hose on it... Boosting Fuel pressure is done with an Adjustable Fuel Pressure Regulator!!! But if your tryin to boost pressure to save from buyin Injectors Dont!!! Buy Injectors they arent too salty used off this site or others!!! Hope this is what yer talkin about lol A little better description woulda helped lol

Sorry man, yes I had capped it. I do have an ajustable fpr, I also have Bosch 80lb injectors , the tank pressure increased because the line is capped I'm sure. I just didn't know a safe way to fix it when I realized what the problem was. ( capped the vent tube that comes up from the tank with the fuel lines and use to go to a silinoied on the passenger side of the intake ) I posted a photo of the old silinoied . Thank you for any help, as this is something I know nothing about ....
