When I get the time to drop the tank I will. I'm disabled and just can't drop it by myself. So, I'm trying to stop gas from running all over for a temp fix so I can get to it when the tank is empty! Don't need a lecture was just looking for help. Thanks
You might look at the fittings you have and see how the ball check valve that you're hearing is oriented. It's supposed to be vertical, so that it can "float" upward on an over fill, or fall "down" to seal if you get dirty side up. Sounds like you may just need to re-route what you've got, and maybe extend up as high as you can.

Tech brings up a very good point about forums, e-mails and other social media. The things we say on-line never really disappear, and it's standard these days for lawyers to use special search engines to look for key words when building liability cases, and they routinely search social media sites. It's a new world we live in, and it's not a lecture, just a statement of our sad state of affairs in the modern electronic world.

Hope you can get it fixed right with a simple re-route & extend.
