I have a goped tank feeding my 460 engine on "The Iron Dragon". A 4-liter reserve tank is plumbed into the fuel system, controlled by a standard petcock. When this valve is opened it automatically fills the g-tank in a few minutes. The system works very well, but I must remember to shut the petcock or the excess fuel will keep spurting out the cap's vent hole.
Once I forgot to close the petcock while riding, and this huge cloud of gas followed my bike, waiting for a spark to ignite the mixture.
My reserve tank is not vented, but my goped tank is. If I plug the g-tank's cap and vent the reserve tank, the petcock has to be open at all times.
I'd rather not have the valve open, except when it's time to fill the goped tank.
Aside from being vigilant and shutting the valve before the g-tank overflows, how could I cure this leaking fuel problem?
Oh yeah, if the goped tank is full it dribbles out of the vent hole until the fuel level drops maybe one inch.
