Default Petrol leak (again!!!)

Hey guys

I posted about this a while back and thought it had been solved but oh no!!!

The fuel tank is pressurising when on the run and blowing fuel out the top of the tank (around the fuel pump seal), thought it was because the tank vent can was removed and a pipe put in its place but this has been rectified now.

So I'm thinking it must be the tank vent pipe blocked? There are 3 pipes running from the tank to the engine bay, I'm guessing feed, return and vent? If the vent one was blocked would this cause the tank to be pressurising like this?

Any help would be great! I cant afford to be wasting precious V-Power like this!!!!

yes you are correct, the vent is the thinner pipe...
