Rear gas tank question
 

I'm fixing to bolt up a 69 Camaro tank in my 66 longbed step with a license plate filler door. The bed wood is off at the moment and this seems like a good time for the install and getting the tank out of the cab. Question for those who've done this and ideas from those just in the know....Should I put a vented sending unit in it and a non vented cap to possibly eliminate slosh out the filler neck on acceleration? I know Camaro's and several other models came with this gas tank set up, so is this "acceleration slosh" even something to worry about? Seems like the tank needs venting one way or another, so it's either cap vented (acceleration slosh again) or sending unit vented where a long enough hose and vent valve would work.
Clear as mud, right? Opinions?

That sound you hear is me slapping my forehead......yeah, it's a camaro tank...go to the camaro folks for an answer......which appears to be the proper vented gas cap!

Thanks for the head slap!

HAHA! No problem!

I n your 66 is the cap vented now? Or is the filler neck vented?

Let us know how it works out. I looked at it before going to the Boyd tank and it looked like the tank would be really low below the frame to get any angle on the filler line.

Here’s some mock up picts, I had an extra truck bed so I’m using some of its crossmember pieces for the framework.

Oh ok a little different.

Thats about how it looked for me. I did not want it that far back or below the frame. As low as my truck is I wanted more room under it for the tall speed bumps we have around work and it as hidden as I could get it from the back.
