Fuel tank vent line
« on: January 22 2018, 10:19:01 AM »
I will installing new racetronix fuel line, I was wondering what to do with the vent line, do I need to keep it running to the front or can I just run it to the rear of the car, the canister has been removed for years.

Don't see any reason it cannot go to the rear

A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.

Just make sure to put some sort of filter or screen on the line to keep out bugs and debris.


And maybe a few loops to act as a water trap.   Keep in mine as the tank drains, it's going to pull several cubic feet of replacement air.  Any moisture on a short line will make it's way into the tank.
