Question Fuel Cell Vent?

So I'm wondering if I need a vent or not. This is not a race truck, strictly street but I'm having a fuel cell built for my truck that works with my space and gives me 32 gallons instead of the common 20 gallon ones. The pump has a return built right into it and will be -8 so I'm guessing a vent should be needed? Should I just use one of those mini breather style or a roll over vent style or one of those mini breather catch cans?

It will have the drag style outlet in -10 and as yet have not decided on the filler cap. Are any of the billet ones available as a vented cap?

Re: Fuel Cell Vent?

Yep, you'll always need a vent. For a street vehicle, I wouldn't worry about a roll-over check ball vent. I just run a vent equal in diameter to my fuel supply line with a bulkhead fitting and a filter clamped on the end. It's the black hose with black fittings on the left side of the access panel of my tank that goes toward the driver side frame.
