Ah I see. In non rollover conditions how does the liquid get into the loop?

Sorry Jim,

As soon as I hit send I knew I was wrong. Then I could not find the thread to correct.

15 gallons in a 20 gallon tank and a powerglide, but I can see if the tank is full and using a clutch.

I've used some one way check in fuel vent line valves that "crack" at 0.5 psi on applications with electric fuel pumps that have worked real well for us. They are available at mcmaster fairly cheap. Only problem is that do not vent both ways and we noticed a little tank pressure when we remove the cap for fill up. I don't know if this is a legal way of venting but our install was on high hp street rods so we didn't have to go thru tech.

I always wondered if John Crapper included a "P" trap in his original flush-fixture.
