Gas Tank Venting

nin9999 · 11-30-2008, 08:48 PM

I just installed my new gas tank to my 1959 Apache. I converted the in-cab tank to a brothers 55-59 top fill underbed style. All the wires/lines have been run, but I have a hole for venting and I need to have some info how to vent the tank properly.

It looks to be a 1/4 inch threaded hole at the top of the tank next to the sending unit.

I know nobody like to admit to doing it but did you read the directions? A lot of aftermarket tank makers hide things in the fine print.
did you also get the filler neck from Brothers?
Top fill duh You may need to put a 1way valve on it so the tank breaths
