Hi Guys,
I've got a 1950 Ford F1 where we've done the 1970 Mustang tank replacement & we have it out back now in between the frames. One question has come up - If we use a Venting Gas Cap do we need the Rollover Vent Valve as well? Do they serve the same purpose? In a collision is it safe to have a Venting Gas cap back there? I'm curious what others have done. I also would like to know if I have to keep the vent hose up higher than the tank - Where do you run the thing? I've looked at numerous tank installs here and I'm not sure there is consensus on what to do.

Thx

Probably not.

Yes and No, I think that the tank vent is also for convenience when filling, it vents the tank other then against the incoming fuel.

 

Thanks Ray - I plan to have my son drive this truck a bit & I just want to be safe. Do you use a vented gas cap on your truck? or have you gone with the extra rollover valve?

On my stock tank, I have an unvented cap, so the roll over valve is the tank vent. Run a line from the valve to a place lower than the tank so if the truck flips the hose end is higher than the tank (belt and suspenders). Place a filter on the end, a gas filter will do, so you not sucking dirty air into the tank.

 

Will you please post some pictures of what you have done already?

 

I'm not too confident in my picture posting abilities but I'll give it a shot.
