There are threaded bunges on either side of the sending unit that are for hooking as a vent.

Just a quick NOTE about our vents... Unlike other tanks with vents our vent provisions are different. The bung extends down aobut 2.5" into the tank they will accept a roll over check valve, and have a piece of 5/16 tube welded to it that goes to the highest part of the tank. This in effect greatly minimises the amount of fuel that can possibly exit and also cuts down on fumes.

i saw the tape next to the sender.... wasnt sure if they were vents or not, since they would greatly lower the fuel level...but the bent tubes/check valves make sence.... i get it now. thanks

I just got my tank also. Awesome craftmanship. Those guys do great work and pretty friendly and helpful. It took about 30 minutes to install because I have to find some damn wire connectors. I attached a hose to my vent for a charcoal canister down the road. The car started with no problems. I am happy customer. Best money spent so far!!!

It's a work of art. Very nice. Is that the OE 69 filler location? It looks high--like a 67/68.

They are a work of art. I had the chance to install one in the yellow 69 convertible. To be totally honest I at one time thought about making tanks, after getting Rick's tank, I said screw it, I will let him do it as he is leaving no room for improvment of quality or cost.

I have installed other brands of tanks, and Rick's is the class of the field by far.

Beautiful craftsmanship. With the fittings in the front how are they routed internally so you don't have fuel slosh away from the pickup?
