Gas Tank Vent Tube (how To Do?)

[Russ]

i would like to vent my gas tank like this on my project car but don't know where to start.
where can i buy fitting's to do this?
i assume one side would be flared and the other would fit into a fitting with another fitting tightening the two together  make sense??
any ideas throw them out there
thanks russ

i think you got it figured out, some hard fuel line, and appropriate fittings, flare it and fire it out the bottom, looks good.

[Russ]

does anybody know where i can buy the fitting's? lordco?
i would imagine it would be 1/4\" lines.

thanks for the reply

flare tool kits at princess auto, cheap.

[jim martin]

just so you know.
the brake flaring kits use a 45 deg flare.
and -an fittings use  a 37 deg flare.
there is a differance.
if anyone is stuck i have a 37 deg flaring tool so if anyone is making aluminum or steel fuel lines etc and is planning on using -an fittings i can help you out

:blush:  good to know thanks russ

Is extra venting needed on an early tank? Looks to me that with a full tank and a left turn you'd be dumping gas out the vent tube with that set up.
