[QUOTE="LDUBS, post: 499842, member: 21536"] A simple solution might be to get vented caps for your tanks. If you can find an older one that would be best. With the relatively newer EPA vented caps you still might need the fuel demand valve. Reason being they don't start to vent until something like 5 psi. To take a slight detour, I've spilt more gaso since the "improved" EPA sealed portable gas cans were adopted than I did in the 50 years previously. This might be a good idea, but the execution simply fails. I use a 5 gallon gaso can to fill my boat's tank. I got tired of the constant spillage. I replaced the "EPA" spout and installed a vent cap. Essentially went old school (thank you Tractor Supply). Haven't spilled a drop since. [/QUOTE]
