[QUOTE="MFE, post: 16796205, member: 36397"] Yup, no shit. On the foxbody. I was running a 190lph, then a 155, and I think now I'm down to the stock pump. At one point many years ago they pulled my sticker and wouldn't let me back on track (not that I was going to anyway) and that was a *night* event. It was pissing fuel out the filler. Over the years, I tried the following and probably more: - Wrapped the tailpipes near the tank - Ditched the tailpipes - re-routed the fuel lines - wrapped the fuel lines anywhere near a heat source - added shielding to the tank where the tailpipes run and reinstalled them - added more, better shielding - Reversed the vapor valve so it wouldn't tend to lock closed when hit with pressure - ran about 12 feet of vent line into a catch can - etc etc etc Finally learned or realized that the fuel is the pump's coolant. Which made sense, because the problem was always way worse the lower the fuel level got. That's when I started downsizing the pumps back to stock or close to stock levels and I rarely get much of an issue anymore. It'll still hiss at me when I undo the cap sometimes but it's not pissing fuel all over anymore. [/QUOTE]
