Thumbs up Fuel vents

I have one of the original II Much vents and like it a lot. Others are using the Finch dual (fuel and rear) vents http://www.finchperformance.com/ Yeah, they are pricey but they work really well. I haven't heard too many good reviews of the tanks inc vent.

Tanks Inc recently changed the design of the EFI Tank to have 2 vents that plumb to the roll over vent.

I've installed 3 of them and 3 other guys I know recently purchased and installed them. No leaks, No smells in the garage.

I have one in my new car and top it off when I fill the tank. No issues

Hey John, the vent issues you had on your old black car, was that with the early design tanks inc tank? I thought Steve (who owns your old blue 69)had vent issues with that roll over valve in his car.

Tanks sent us a new tank at no charge for Steves car. It's now trouble free.

The issue was the vent port on the fuel pump module would be slightly below the fuel level when the tank was full. So if any pressure built up in the tank when it warmed up fuel could be forced out through the vent. Once your ran the tank down a gallon or so th fuel level was below the vent port and everything was ok.

Tanks added a vent port to the tank at the highest point so problem solved.

You can add a vent that ties into the filler neck. That's one solution or call Tanks.
