1970mcss Posted August 13 Posted August 13 I'm going to finally switch out my gas tank for a vented tank and then possibly add the vaper trapper if the garage gas smell doesn't go away. I'm thinking about a 2 fitting tank unless someone can tell me why I need a 3 line tank. I'm looking for recommendations on which tank to buy and what are recommended vendors. Any other advice would be appreciated. Thanks 1 Quote
DragCat Posted August 13 Posted August 13 Cant help with the replacement...My original 454 had the 3 port fuel pump, my crate came with a 2 port. I just plugged the return 3rd line and no issues. I did have the "gas smell in the garage" when I replaced the gas tank cap with the wrong type. Correct gas cap fixed that 3 Quote
Tonka Man Posted August 13 Posted August 13 You will have to check with others on this forum that are smarter than I am, but I believe the three line tanks were from cars manufactured in the California plant, not the Michigan plant. I have one '71 that was from the California plant and I bought a new tank and sending unit from Summit that worked great. I believe my other cars from the Michigan plant are two line tanks. 2 Quote

1970mcss Posted August 15 Author Posted August 15 I ended up ordering a tank from summit with 2 vents, thanks for the responses 1 Quote
1970mcss Posted August 20 Author Posted August 20 I ended up installing the new tank with 2 vent pipes. I also installed the factory vent with 2 hoses. What a difference, the smell is gone and the car seems to run better. 7 Quote
