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!

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.

Just my .02 cents. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2005 Posts: 1,026 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Dec 2005 Posts: 1,026 | make sure that you have a gradual slop upward to the vent and all will be well. Point well taken. I'll run the line on top of the frame. Thanks.
