How would a charcoal canister keep gas from spewing out of the tanks? |

Re: 1973-1991 Dual fuel tank systems theory of operation
I spent a bit of time after work today troubleshooting. I started the truck up running on the left tank, and removed the gas cap. After a few minutes, I can see the gas level rising up through the fill port, until eventually it starts spilling out the fill port on the left tank.
Once that happened, I removed the power wire from the selector switch that feeds the left tank, so only the right tank was hooked to the switch, and started up again. Same result I disconnected the two vents where they tee together and plugged them off to rule out fuel somehow crossing from one tank to the other via the breather hose, and same result. Finally, just for ****s and giggles, I swapped the return lines at the fuel selector valve, and same result. I have no idea wtf is happening. |
