Re: Gas tank vent line puking fuel

I do have two lines on my sending unit. I believe the second one is a return line?

It looks like the plan is to cap that return line. Can somebody give me a link or part number to a vented gas cap?
See that dimple in the tank over on the passenger side? That is where the original fuel tank vent line would come out of and go up into the passenger side C-pillar, and back down the side of the tank. Look at my stock tank setup in my 1972 GMC C1500 in the linked post below.

I also have the return line capped off at the sending unit.
