Left my ignition on, by mistake and came home to find gas on floor under front end of car. Does anyone think it overflowed out of the bowls into the copper tubes. That is what I think happend. At least I hope it did.

pump will keep pumping until the float rises and closes the valve.

either you have a sunk float or a bit of grit on one of the valves that kept it from closing...but yes, that is what happened.

glad you didn't set the garage on fire.
