Well still no answer to my question and bunch of advise:)

What i asked was is it ok that i have not vented the fume to air and back to the tank by creating a loop and no one seems to know!

You modified it, why don't you tell us...

You obviously did it for a reason, but without seeing exactly what lines you have changed and where they are plumbed I can't help you, neither can anyone else. It's bad enough tracing the stock hoses around the engine bay.

If you don't want the charcoal canister in there, I would be just blocking all the hoses, not looping anything. You will get arse raped if you get done for this on the road, I hope you understand.

Understand. Mixed the two up. ^_^

How do drag cars deal with it using a fuel cell for exsample. On like 100% Of fuel cells have two lower out let and two on the top. How do you control the vacuum that the fuel pump will creat sucking the fuel out.

Ive always wondered about this. Keeping in mind fuel vapors. Im thinking some kind of one way valve. Just a guess though.

Race fuel cells have a rollover protection vent, essentially a one way valve mounted in the top. It allows air in, but no fuel should come out even if you flip the car.

when you say pressurised, what do you mean ? as not been able to open the fuel cap ?

I have looped it back to the tank so any vapour goes back in to the tank thus no harm to environment opposed to what people accuse me of:)

What I am asking is , is that ok ? would the looping cause any bad pressure build up etc ?

ok when people say block it then that does no good either as the tank will be pressurised again .

can tank pressure explode the tank or will it make the fuel cap opening harder ? or perhaps it passes through the cap when pressure is very high

which one is the return , the driver side or passenger side pipe ?

Remove fuel tank.

Can't pressurise what isn't there. Science.

I like your thinking. It's probably even better than my recent idea which was to drill holes in the tank. Lets it breathe and reduces weight. But your weight reduction is > mine, so your idea is clearly better. Plus, more room in the rear end!

Not meaning to run on about this or anything here. I spent some time looking at fuel cell venting. Not trying to go off topic here, but all principles can be used here.

Most drag racing set up calls for a roll over valve and NHRA require to loops in the vent hose. Then they vent it out the trunks floor or where ever some use a filter at the end. This is straight to atmosphere. Is there anyway i can set my syatem up to burn this up. Like the original system. Seems like ill have to make some sort of evap system to do this. Or is it normal for these guys to just vent it outside. ??

From what i see the roll over vent is just a ball thats stops the fuel from just pooring out when upside down via the vent line, but gas vapors will still get into the atmosphere. Damn i got rid of all my carbon canister stuff:(

      And 90% of the time those people turn out to be wrong anyway. But they still treat themselves as a victim...

      I used the radium thing, makes the whole parallel assembly a lot more compact compared to any other way of doing it

      Racetronix also sells those ethanol content sensor bypass blocks. Adapter, Flex-Fuel E85 Sensor High-Flow Bypass, In-line No Sensor (ADF-FLEX-NS): Adapters - Flex Fuel | Racetronix Ethanol content sensor are originally designed to be on the feed line. These bypass blocks are meant to be ran in the feed line and not return. The continental ethanol content sensors have a 3/8" ID and not 5/16". This is why they are ran on the return line directly in conjunction with a low threshold sampling value VS in the feed with one of these blocks.    Haha we think alike, I used both original feed/return for 8AN feed, and one of the Hicas lines as a 6AN return. I also capped off and left the other Hicas line as a spare.

      R32 gtst speedo out by 10kph

      By -Jimmy- · Posted

      Interesting, I haven't read about the issue with oil getting into the speedo in the cluster before. I'll have to take more notice with mine. The speedo on my R32's when I've run factory diff and tyre size have never been accurate as far as I can remember. The non Type-M GTS-t did come with 15" 5 stud wheels and smaller brakes, but that's less than 5% of them.

      Good to hear the condenser you picked up off my brother worked all good. Do you think there could be an issue with your AC compressor itself or the clutch on it then? I don't know a lot about them so I can't really help but keen to hear what it ends up being. Keep the build thread going man, it's nice to look back on over time.
