one way valve in fuel overflow line | 356 Speedster, 550 Spyder, Replica, Automotive Community

Jack CrosbyHot Springs, AR, VS RabyTypeIV

Like many of you I get a strong gas odor when turning, especially with a full tank.

I just received a one way valve that goes in the fuel line that drains excess fuel.

My question is where do I cut the fuel line and install it? I guess as close to where the overflow fuel line exits the tank? Or is anywhere convenient to reach ok?

I'll appreciate any help. Thanks--Jack

The closer to the tank, the less gas wasted....
