Subject:Re: 1988 Westy - fuel leaks upon fill up

Just went through that with my GL. I could see where the leak was.  Vent
line.  Simple to replace.  My thought - go to petrol station, fill 3/4 or
higher.  Don't top off.  Get extra fuel in a container.  Go home and top off
with something to capture the leaky fuel.  You will then see where the leak
is.  Or, just replace any bad lines you see.

  I don't really want to be a Roman Candle;  so I never top up  my gas tank.
I am  thinking there is a  leaky vent line. How hard is it to troubleshoot
and repair?
