Vent on top of dome on 8n gas tank

Sclem · Jun 23, 2015

Does leakage occur out of vent on dome on tank when tank is about full & slopping around. If so is this normal? Thank you for any information.

Only vent on a N fuel tank that I know of ,is in the cap. And no it should not leak.

There is a vent on the top of the tank, Mine have never leaked that I know of, I wouldn't say they couldn't if full and running on rough ground but I believe the design of the dome is meant to prevent that.

It isn't likely as gas would need to escape through two offset & spaced apart holes. Never had it happen.

Agree, it's completely unlikely, only way I could see it happening id if tank were filled to the brim when it was very cold out, then left alone till it warmed up a lot outside.

Sloshing isn't enough to do it.

no Buddy........vented gas caps are now recommended 'cuz mud-daubbers like to clog the vent in the dome. To "un-clog" the dome vent, you haffta remove yer hood so you can gitt to yer gastank and peck the mud outta the dome vent. Yeah, so much simpler to use the later NAA-600's vented gas cap. .......HTH, the vented Dell
