On a related note
Please ,please do not let any one suggest that you block or cap off this “Vent Hose”. I had my tank replaced at a radiator and gas tank shop,I mean this was their thing. The so called expert told me “ you know you had a piece of hose just hanging off the back of your old tank,so I just put a cap on it” I told him it's a vent it's supposed to be there, but he insisted he never had seen anything like that, and “It'll vent just fine”. Now to explain,my '68 lemans has a Holly mech fuel pump which has no accommodation for a return line like the stock one, so it's just disconnected. Never had a problem. It didn't take long, with the capped off vent hose, for gas to come spilling out of the return line and on to the garage floor. Luckily I found it before anything went KABOOM. I took off the plug and put on the correct vent hose and no problems since. After I told a few people this story one other guy told me his “mechanic” while doing other work under his GTO saw the hose and plugged it with a bolt. It was on the way home from the shop when people were flagging him down to warn him he was spilling gas all over the place (He also had a fuel pump w/ no return). Just lucky it didn't hit the headers and didn't do a full KABOOM. JUST VENT IT.
