A: I have run into this with my '73 J4000. It happens more with any gas that 
has alcohol in it. Higher the content of alcohol (or MTBE) the more it 
sprays back. (although temps are part of that) I just fixed it by changing 
the filler pipe with one from an XJ. So far no blowback (my filler is now 
inside the box though. The old one will stay on the outside to fool gas 
thieves)

Anyone have problems with the gas tank puking after
filling up? Even if they pump it slow, it still pukes.
My vent is clear. I think that plastic sleeve is
shutting the vent closed. I'm thinking of running a
vent tube from the top of the rubber inside the trunk
to exit somewhere, that way the rubber sleeve wont
cover it. Here in Oregon we can't pump our own gas and

most of the pump jockeys have no clue at all....Russ
