72’ fuel tank vent

[Tim972]

What’s the best fuel tank vent options for a 72’ with stock tank and almost all the original vent components missing?
 

Run a remote vent off of the tank near the filler neck?  
Or is vented gas cap better option ? 
          Thanks

The cap should have a vent hole. You can also run a line from the tank sender off one of the original vent lines and put a fuel filter at the end ,just make sure you mount it higher than the tank.

That's exactly what I did. I used all 3 of the vent lines from the tank to the separator behind the back seat, and put the filter on the remaining/open hard line up on that set of lines up high. Fram G2 filter fit good. Tank is vented, no worry about fuel spillage with it mounted high, and I don't smell any vapors, at least to date..

Thanks for the input guys, I like that idea with the fuel filter. 👍
