    i use 1/8 brake line. drill a hole in the neck , run the brake line across the tank and down to bottom. jb weld will hold it in place. just put dobs of it every few inches. hope this helps.
    just reread your post. it sounds like your filler neck design is the culprit. is it vertical ? you can use a piece of 3/16 brake line inside your filler tube . just braze it to the side of the neck. it will help with filling but not venting. the 1/8 will vent fumes to the outside. i also use a piece of vac tube with an old holley jet in it. helps to keep the fimes in the garage down.

    geeze i'm blind this morning. r pope just said that.
