Fuel Cell's: What to do with the vent fitting?
You guys that have swapped in a fuel cell, what did you do with the vent fitting? Did you run a line from it to your charcoal canister...or what?

You can use the charcoal canister, on my chevelle I just ran a line up above the tank top & curled the line(like a phone cord) so the gas wouldnt slosh out of it...

if you plan to race your truck any at the strip you need to install a rollover valve in the vent(not cheap, $32 last time i bought one).

My aluminum one has the rollover vent in it, but the gas smell is obnoxious.

problem is when in the sun the tank will swell if it has no where to vent the fumes.
