I have a 1984 spotscoach III with 454, aux tank is on right side between door an batteries main tank is in rear. Both tanks when above half tank at time while running and other times with nothing running, gas comes out the hole where you put gas in? it has done it in cool weather and hot? So i joke it makes gas any help would be great?
I would check the gas caps. One could be a vented model and the other a non- vented. That would maybe under some conditions to blow gas out the tank vent lines. One that I had was someone had switched the two small lines, one for the return from the fuel pump and the other one for the generator. It was all i could do to put fuel into the tank! I would check that as well. I once i had figured out what had happened I had found a older styled canister fuel vent and hooked it into the carburetor. Mines old enough that it had that style on trucks but was missing from mine. It just vented right into....air...Someone before me had most likely taken it out and disposed it but the holes for the vacuum senders were there and an old book for Chevy helped. Getting vented caps should do it but I would also look to see where the fuel lines and exhaust system runs.
