This is the diagram I used to fix screwed up fuel tank venting while installing 2 new fuel tank(s) plus I followed Matt's advice of placing the vent
lines as high as possible without droops. I drove the beast down to the gas station yesterday to "fill-er" up and it was the first time since
purchasing this turd that fuel did not come barfing out at me through the neck. The gas pump also stopped pumping fuel when it got a signal that the
tank was full. Imagine that - fuel tanks completely full!!!
