Allen,

Let me know on this one too. Since I replaced all the soft fittings mine had been doing the same. I almost feel the I have to drill a small vent hole on top of the overflow tanks.

After time in Bentley, the archives, and my westy, I do not clearly understand how air is supposed to enter the tank to replace the fuel drawn off by the fuel pump. I removed, cleaned and replaced both overflow/expansion tanks and the valves thy contain in the front wheel wells today. My fuel tank is trying to collapse under suction when the van is running. Guess my fuel pump works ok. Can someone fill me in?
