Fuel Tank Question...Help

I have a 69' Stepside with a 72' tank in the cab. Since there is not a vented fuel cap for these tanks (72' they went to EEC). I'll have to set it up like the factory did.

Yesterday, I picked up a charcoal canister and fuel line (both rubber and hard line) with intentions of hooking everything up. When I bought the sending unit from Brothers, I purchased a NON EEC Unit. My guess is that to run this properly, I'll have to get the correct sending unit. OR WILL I? My Question. How do I run this whole charcoal canister setup? From what I gather, a line runs from the tank to the charcoal canister then to a vacuum on the intake. Any help, especially pictures would be great.

Little note about the tank: I have already had it cleaned, boiled and sealed at the local rad shop. Already have $$ into it. So I'm gonna try to use it. Thanks in advance.

Re: Fuel Tank Question...Help

I'm going to assume you'll need the 72 sending unit. The only reason I say this is because of the vent line to the charcoal canister.
Other than that, I don't see a problem.
Are you able to return the sending unit?

Probably not, but I'll call Brothers in the morning. If not, I'll try to sell it after all, it is brand new, never used. Some one may be able to use it. Luckily, I purchased it at the sale price - $35.00 Thank for the reply.

Re: Fuel Tank Question...Help

you really dont need the charcoal cannister just use the fitting to run a vent line. a simple coil of tubing higher than the tank placed up behind the door pillar then a length of hose to outsife the cab is sufficent to vent the tank
