<VV> Fuel leakage

[BBRT]

I think a proper solution is to provide a vent tube from fuel tank inlet 
hose or where later LM's have a fuel return line.. Run the vent up so it is 
centered in the area in front of windshield beneath the grille. Put a filter 
on it in the event there is slosh . Then use a sealed fuel filler cap for 
autocrossing.
