To Simon's point, I think that vent line is going to fill with fuel, thus blocking the vent. What about if we come up with a cool body mod to hide it? It's 'glass right there, correct?

What would be good is if I could find one that has a top inlet, then I could keep the line up high. Time to do some internet searching

I wonder if the one I have would work the other way around? Not sure why I assumed the ports went downward

You wouldn't think something as simple as adjustable seat tracks and seat mounting would kick your ass but, for whatever reason, it sure kicked mine. I had serious brain issues, overthinking it and trying to over engineer it. In the end, I simply mounted the sliders to the seats, which required nutserts in the seat frame then 1/2" spacers for the slide release/locking mechanism to operate. Then marked and drilled through both levels of floor aluminum. Cut and drilled out the 5/16" studs that came swedged in the sliders, replace with grade 8 - 1/4" bolts, grind the side of thick flat washers so they fit in the seat track channel, tack weld the head of the 1/4" bolt to the washer so that it won't spin and you can run a lock nut up on it from underneath without having to hold the head in the seat track yet isn't welded to the seat track incase you need to remove it. I didn't want the aluminum panels to crush down on themselves when I tighten the bolts so I made 1" aluminum spacers, cut the foam/heat barrier to accept the spacers and sealed them with foil tape. Like I said, Simple.
