New Gas tank and stuff

I just received an early Christmas present!! My new gas tank and accessories came last week so now I can get started putting it together. One question, I got a remote rollover vent but dont know how or where to attach it/ mount it. I am sure someone can give me some direction.
Thanks as always!!
By the way, the folks at Mid Fifty parts are AWESOME to work with!!
They even sent tootsie rolls!

The roll-over vent shut off valve goes in the vent hose. If the tank does not have a stand alone vent tube and simply vents through a vented filler cap, you don't need one or have a place to put one. A roll-over valve was never included from the factory, and the chances that your truck will ever be upside down for the valve to close is pretty minimal for most of us, anyway. My 2c.
