I have a Sthil 064 that is filling the crankcase with fuel if it sits overnight. I know it’s coming through the impulse line because I unhooked from nipple on the case and connection a longer hose to it and put the end in a coffee can the next day there was fuel in the coffee can but none in the cases. I have pressure tested the carb and it will hold 6psi for over an hour. So I was thinking maybe the pressure in the tank was getting much higher causing the fuel to push through the carb. I live in southern Arkansas and I have seen gas cans, and even gas tanks in cars pop from pressure if the aren’t vented properly. So to test the tank vent I pulled vac through the fuel line and it equalizes in a few seconds but when I put 5 psi of pressure in the fuel line it holds constant so I thought i found the problem then I read the 064/066 manual and it seems to say that the tank vent equalizes both pressure and vacuum in the tank which makes sense but then a tech bulletin I read about an update to the tank vent seems to say the vent only allows air in the tank to equalize if there is vacuum but does nothing if pressure builds. So now I am confused I could really use some help. Here are some pictures of the vent maybe it’s just a mismatch of parts because I know the 1122 series is kinda known for changing. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
