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.
