I talked to the guys at Tanks Inc. and they suggested that I use this rollover vent valve. It will vent the tank and also seal itself off in case of a rollever. I mounted it in the right rear stake pocket, ran the hose through the frame then to the tank. I'm not sure if moisture will be able to get in so I'll eventually get some covers for the opening.
Thanks for all the input!

Robert, my only concern is the dip in the fuel line to the vent. It will act like a P-trap on your sink. If that gets full of fuel, it may purge out the vent when your filling, kind of like filling a straw up with water and blowing.

make sure that you have a gradual slop upward to the vent and all will be well.

It only needs to be above the tank. If it were me i'd mount it just off the fitting on the tank and up the frame a tad.

Just my .02 cents.

Point well taken. I'll run the line on top of the frame.
Thanks.
