BINGO, You are exactly correct. This will not be done on ours. I added a -6 vent fitting to our tank as well as the vented cap. Hopefully it is enough.

Still running great! I would have bent up my own lines, but I have very little time and very little money. Everything in the pictures I posted I already owned from previous projects.

Thanks again Blown353

SIV -- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I appreciate your work - but I would NEVER EVER EVER vent GAS FUMES into an enclosed space -- and especially where you have light bulbs/turn signals/brake lights/wiring....

You get a leak in your vent system -- hit the brakes -- and see ya sweetheart!

Of course - I'm also an internationally licensed pyro - so I think SAFETY first - which is why I'm still alive to type this.

The line out the top runs to a filter under the car just above the tank.
