Swapped out gas tank

I had a leak in my gas tank that was smelling up everything, not to mention wasting about $60 a week in fuel.

I can't afford the kits to move the tank to the rear at the moment, so I just got a spectre tank and replaced it behind the seat in about 75 minutes.

What I noticed though is that my old tank had a port in the top passenger side that connected to a hose that takes a long trip around the tank and goes through the floor next to the fuel line. The new tank does not have this port. For the moment, I plugged up the line by clamping a bolt into the hose and everything seems to work so far.

I was told it's likely an evap port and just to make sure I've got a vented gas cap? Does that sound accurate?

I've always trusted people here that I don't even know more than my local mechanic, ha.
