Maybe we don't have high speed pumps around here, I have no issues with the 1/2" copper/pex, whichever one I ended up using.

All you need is for air to come out as quick as fuel goes in. If the vent is a little under sized fuel will still go in it just wont drain into the tank as quickly and will slowly back up.

I didn't need to use copper to PEX to make a vent hose, I have a stock setup, filler neck, fuel hose, vent tube in good shape off my donor, but I wanted to test a cheap alternative. And pex is the cheap way.

I also also have the original duel tank setup and haven’t had any fueling issues. I had to replace the front fill hose and the rear tank, vent, grommet, and fill hose. Here’s a link to where I bought all my parts except for the tank itself.
