Fuel vent hose, Fuel smell in car Options

[mgphoto]

Hello,
I've had a problem with gasoline fumes coming into the cabin from the front trunk. I would fill the tank and sometimes forget and park the car at the curb, my street is pitched slightly from the center and slopes to the curbs, this makes the filler neck on the tank a few inches lower, this causes the fuel to run into the expansion tank. I wanted to replace the hose from the expansion tank as it has become brittle and cracked from age. I went to Bill and Steve's Superstore in Downey CA, to pick up a length of hose, ( they have thousands of VW parts ).
I spoke with Robert, who know exactly what hose I was taking about, "your getting the fuel fumes inside the car right?" yes I said, and he said "that is because the fuel is running through the hose", he told me to solve that problem "all you have to do is make a loop in the hose, and have the top of the loop higher that the filler neck."
See photos below.






Brilliant, the fuel will not run though the hose and the fumes are gone.
Just thought I would share this with the group.
