annoying inconsequential matter

Just a guess but maybe it has something to do with the time it takes for the fuel pump to build enough pressure to push fuel uphill, whereas downhill gravity will aid in feeding the fuel to the engine? If it is parked uphill for only a couple of hours there wouldn't be enough time for the pressure to bleed off. Maybe there is a small internal leak in your system or maybe that is normal for the Jeep fuel system. I haven't noticed it in mine and I park on a very slight hill at home.

You gas filter isn't lined up right would be my guess.

The filter has two outlets. The center outlet goes to the carb and the top outlet goes to the return line.

If the return line isn't at the top, gas will syphon back to the tank when it sits.

Your return line is likely level with the center outlet so when it gets on an angle, it syphons.

You know what Mike, I never thought of the relation between the two outlets when in that position. I am going to have to monkey with the angle, and see what I get. The symptoms are more like the carb siphoning, but I never thought about it going THAT direction.

Thanks all,
