anyway, just, thoughts. lots of vehicles have midship exits and down turned pipes. sometimes that's all that works.

Thanks for your response. That's another thing I need to figure out, venting the tank. When reading up on it seems like people will buy vented caps, or add a vent to the tank itself. Do they do the same thing? Seems like it would be easier just to buy a vented cap then to try to modify the tank?
