Hey all,

Just after some opinions on breather hoses for fuel tanks. I've got a 1200 sedan that I use for supersprint/hillclimbs and have had some issues with fuel leaking out the breather.
The breather setup that was on the car when I got it was totally incapable of stopping fuel sloshing out of the tank under hard cornering. So I ran a fuel hose from the fitting on top of the tank all the way up the passenger side 'c' pillar to roof level, looped it around and ran it back to below tank level to prevent fuel leaks if the car is rolled onto its roof. Last supersprint fuel was still coming out of this hose under cornering, so i had to block it and release the vacuum in the tank after each run.
All the other hoses coming off the tank/filler neck are either blocked or interconnected.

I was just wondering if anyone had some simple suggestions to stop this from occuring. I was pretty amazed that the fuel could have the momentum to make its way all the way to roof level, considering the car rarely has more than a quarter tank of fuel.

Cheers
