Gas Tank Issue

I believe the ERA gas tank is 19 gallons but usually the best I can do at fill up is 12-14 gallons (actually the pump auto switch off triggers at about 8-9 gallons and then it is slow rolling after that.

The issue was compounded when I added fuel injection; the FI doesn't like when I get toward the bottom of the tank and the fuel starts sloshing.

Anyone else have this problem?

I assume if I added a small gas reservoir in line from the gas tank to the fuel pump, this should resolve some or all of this issue...anyone have any advice or can share what has worked for you please?

How is your tank vented? Usually, when I see or hear of such issues, it has to do with the way the vent for the tank/fill tube was installed.

MM is correct. This is about the best pic I have of my vent hoses but the ERA manual goes in to detail on how to do them, and ground the outlet as well. Note that there are three vent hoses (one is hard to see in this pic as it is in the back). One is a dribble drain to the ground, the second is a tank vent hose and the third is a tank vent to the outside.

Patrick's picture, now locally hosted here (for the record, I see his as well)

Might be time to add some nylock nuts and get rid of the Ace hardware supplied units as I see signs of leakage....

I see MrMustang's picture but not patrickt's.

Thanks for the picture; I see the picture in the era manual also...will have to see what's what for my set up.
