Same problem here. No dripping, no small amount. There is a flow of about
one gallon. It's worse if the rear end is downhill from the front end.

The fix is to drop the tanks and replace the old hose. It needs to be done
so I can also put in some gasohol-tolerant hose.

I also can't put in more than about 28 gallons from what appears to be 1/4
tank. I've learned to stop at 25 and just stop for more gas in 200 miles. I
don't want to tempt how much my 1/4 tank is good for or if gas will make it
from the aux tank.
