Overflow valve?? Where is the excess petrol flowing to?? Can't be ADR compliant for a car to leak petrol everywhere..

I think the main reason I don't fill it full is because it's just so depressing paying for a full tank (not that it'll make much difference in the end as to how much fuel I use) but still
sulley? u got ur new euro? wat colour
*sorry to be off topic*
and yeah i get about 500kms on a full tank at city driving.......540 if im lucky
hey stephen, its the same colour..just a standard manual..gonna get leather seats and HIDs and tints soon.
currently fitted with SSR SP1s and a 5Zigen proracer zorst..
gonna fit on my mugen bar and euro r skirts and rear soon..
Re: The pressure valve, I have nfi, I really can't remember the details. It would stand to reason that the fuel will turn to vapour at certain temps, whether this causes it to increase in volume or decrease I'm not sure. Either way there needs to be some sort of release valve in case the pressure built up is greater than the tank can handle.
ahhh thrashing, mine gets one every time I get in it! get's a bit boring driving a rodeo around all day long.
The only gripe I've got is that it hits redline too early, if only it was 500 higher it would carry the revs thru nicely to the next gear and be right in the sweet spot rather than dying every time u change.
