[QUOTE="crowbar1020, post: 2375361, member: 77631"]first thanks for the replies. i have been having some issues with this. i am currently replacing my fuel lines from tanks to primary filter. i checked my fuel pressure before hand it was averaging 70psi at idle and 95 at 1800rpm while sitting still. found a few bad spots in the fuel lines and were swollen shut slightly. replacing them tomorrow and will update. as far as the tank vents are concerned... checked driver side tank and it does not have the factory big black vent in it. past owner must have changed it. it now has the main pickup line entering at vent hole and the vent is now in the small aux hole to right with a piece of pipe cap in it and small rubber hose connected to it. with fuel cap on i blew into it and would fill into tank and then push back out. working correctly right? the pass side tank has factory vent cap and i removed it and checked for blockage.. no sign. I do get a fair amount of leakage around fuel tank cap on driver side while driving. i have taken cap apart and cleaned and installed new orings and tightened main handle but no luck on stopping leak.[/QUOTE]
