Default Narrowed tank? How did you mount your vent?

What's everyone's venting scheme with a Ricks (or similar) narrowed SS tank? Do you vent from the filler neck or the top port on the front of the tank? Did you use a II Much vent or other type? Where did you mount that? Pictures? Anything you wish you did differently?

I am running a Ricks Vaporworx and II Much vent. I used the tank vent on the fwd side of tank and mounted the vent just in front of the pass rear tail light (on the flat spot in the trunk pan) just behind my battery. No issues in over 5 years of running it.

I am running a 1/4" stainless tube from the top front of tank port.
This 1/4" line runs over top of tank and exits "down" between tank and right tail light. I did put a 360degree bend half way back which sets on top of tank.
Not sure the 360degree tube bend does any good but at the time, Kyle Tucker told me to do so. And he knows.
I have had zero issues.
If you need pics, let me know and I can provide.

Do you have the returnless system ? I may be mistaken but thought a vent was optional on that system ?

All tanks require a venting system.

Thanks for the replies!

572 - that sounds like an interesting vent set-up.

I do have a return-less system using a CTS-V2 pump with Vaporworx controller.

I have used the II much on both my Ricks tanks. My new tank I just got does have a bung for a vent on the filler neck.

In my most cases, if the tank has more than one vent port location they should be T'd together and then run to the venting solution. Obviously I'd suggest the II MUCH product. A tank with a port on the neck and one on the body allows air to enter the tank when using fuel and escape when filling it. The two port configuration also dramatically reduces the possibility of fuel tank pressurization.
