Here is a pic of the entire top of the tank. You can see the vent connection on each end. The hoses pulled off easily enough for me, and I stuck them right back on when reinstalling. I can't remember if there was a check valve on each end, or just the one shown in the other pic, but I'm thinking there were two. Either way, they are plumbed together. If a tank is holding pressure, I would suspect a problem with that check valve/vent.

The OP definitely said vacuum so I'd have to suspect that also.

I would suggest to the OP, leave your fuel cap loose until you get it figured out, so you don't starve the fuel pump.

Bill, I'm already ahead of you on leaving the cap loose until I can get back on my feet to start wrenching again. I found this by accident so i have a list that's getting a little behind,but i do appreciate the effort everyone is putting out to check on this for me. I will get to the bottom of this and let everyone know what was the issue. i am going to take the bed off to install a B+W hitch so it will make it alot easier to check out........Bill
