Jinkees, they found a way to make the Pig glove box even smaller?
That's not going to hold many gloves!

Been too long since driving the pig. Son just got his pilot license couple weeks ago, flying a whopping 40 miles to bring his mom and dad something in our old 182.
Perfect opportunity and evening to drive the pig. Waiting on son now and she has chosen to mark her territory!
I haven’t had this happen before but she is overflowing for sure.

WTF, WTF, WTF!!!!
Had an F250 with plastic tank and if you filled in heat of day would overflow in the a.m. I would think lack of ventilation

Amazing how a kid who rolls his Tacoma on muddy snowy road little over 4 years ago, now legal to fly plane by himself! He is better pilot than a driver!Jon it helps if you put the fuel cap on….
@swamp-thing saw the boys transition through the formative years! I guess I could add that it was @swamp-things old Tacoma.

Congrats to your son!!!
Evaporative emission system issues... Do you know how the tank is (or is not) venting?
When the fuel gets warm, those vapors need some place to go. Otherwise they cause issues.
If you still have the fuel return line in play, the fuel in the tank gets warmed by making a trip up to the engine compartment and then coming back to the tank.

Did you hear/feel a lot of vapor escaping when you pulled the fill cap?

Need little help on the pressurized tank. Drove to town and filled up Saturday, no issue whatsoever. Drive around last night checking with neighbors a couple miles away about dog that showed up.
Started to get in car and noticed fuel running out of the gas cap again. Always concerning with it being above the tailpipe, seems like it can’t be good combo?
This sounds like more than a charcoal canister to me. I’ve done some searching and got a few ideas but where’s best area to start with?

Jon, here’s what I’ve used to great success. I put one to allow air into tank to relieve low pressure that develops from gas being used and another to allow gas pressure to be released and go through vapor canister and into the carb when filling the tank or temp increasing and tank needing to bleed off pressure.

Man, I would start with the vent ports on the tank.
Are those clear? If you have the cap off, can you blow a little compressed air into the tank?
If yes, what are the tank vent ports connected to? They might not even be connected to the charcoal canister...

Jinkees!
We have to finger this out...
