Animal pushing alcohol out of vent in pump

[calispec]

I was having a issue with alcohol being pushed out the vent in the top of the fuel pump. I changed the fuel pump and have the same issue after a night of racing. Is this an issue or just a bad fuel pump? Is there a better fuel pump to use then the round Walbro?

Put 2 drops of super glue on top of vent screen. We’ve been doing that for 15 years now, works good.

Thank you

It's likely oil coming out of the vent on the fuel pump, not fuel.
Like Steve said, just seal it up (super glue, nail polish, silicone sealant.)

That was my first thought too Brian, but then I seen that he was running alky so maybe it is pulsed off the intake and is fuel?

Thanks again.

^^ Ah yea, I suppose it could be fuel if you're pulsing off the intake, I could see that....although not legal for animal classes.
OP never mentioned what class, application, carb he was using this on. Bad assumption on my part.
