I bought a behemoth of a project a couple years ago and have used these forums for help the whole time since. I've finally made an account because of a conundrum I'm dealing with now. I have a 1970 Skylark with a Chevy 283 swap (sacrilege I know). The fuel tank was sending crud to the engine and refurbishing cost less than a replacement so I bought a new tank for the car. This showed me the how little the owner who swapped the car knew about gas tanks (not that I know much more). The chevy engine is running a return-less setup, but the fuel tank venting was still in a stock configuration. This leaves me to figure the whole system out... My question is; what is the simplest way I can run a return-less setup? I have heard I could plug all the vent lines and run a vented cap. I could also plug all the lines but one and run a single aftermarket breather... any comments/help with the situation would be much appreciated. This is my first project (and first car) so go easy on me, thanks!
Welcome Jackson, where are you from? And it would be possible to plug the vent lines, so that gas doesn't slosh out of the tank when cornering, etc. A vented gas cap is a must at that point then.
I'm from the Bay Area, California. I plan to plug the lines so that fuel doesn't spill. I was wondering if I should run a vented cap or plumb one of the lines to a remote breather. I haven't been able to find a vented cap for my tank yet because OEM were unvented.
