Default RE: Fuel tank/motor issues.... Again...

ok one problem I have discovered with the check valve. The truck runs great thruought the whole tank!!! No leaning problem and it will idle for days. I can run the track thru several tanks of fuel with no issues, in fact the only time it stalled was when I was running it hard on the track andthe engine heated up. And this is where I noticed the problem. I found that if it does stall, the pressure in the tank will continue to force fuel into the carb, pulling the fuel lid stops it but by then it already has flooded the engine. I would say the valve is a success, but a new minor problem has arisen. Any of you other fellas that have done this mod run into this problem let me know.. I am working on a fix, or rethinking the check valve.

However, I am keeping the valve!! It helps so much!!!
