Rear mount gas tank pics request

[Dentguy]

Sorry I'm sure this has been covered already. I'm mounting the LMC rear mount fuel tank top fill thru wood bed. Can someone show me how you vented your tank? Not a side fill but the top fill.
Thanks fellas!

I am in the same boat. I would love to see pictures too.

Right now I have my vent hose running out the side up the inside fender (stepper).

I have thought about a couple different ways to run it.

1. Leave it where it is high up in the fender and run a small filter to keep the bad stuff out. (I don't plan on driving the truck in weather).

2. Run the hose all the way back up into the motor compartment. Negative side to this is the frame has some hills and valleys. So on hard banking turns fuel might go out the breather hose and sit in the low spots in the frame.

3. Since my truck is a stepper I thought about running the hose up one of the cover rails of the bed. It looks to be about 2x2". So I think a small filter will fit in there.

It took me a lot of research to find some valves that will work. Here is what I found.

Here is the view of the top of my tank. The Elbow on the cross member is connected to an NHRA rollover valve in the cross member. The one way check valve is in the line between the tank elbow and the one on the cross member. By placing the rollover valve inside the cross member it is protected from dirt and rainwater. I got both rollover valve and one way check valve from summit racing. If you do not drag race, just leave off the rollover valve but be sure to place the end of the vent so that water can not get sucked through it into the tank.

So any updates on how your running the vent hose?

[Dentguy]

I'm going to get a breather and most likely mount high in the fender well. From what I've read it is important to be higher than filler ( duh) so I'm ordering the breather and giving it a shot.

Spent 4 hours at exhaust shop having it relocated to dump ends behind rear wheels instead of its exiting below the bumper.

I will take photos of the entire process. Just wasn't able to start after all the time lost at exhaust shop. But funny thing was the guy doing the work owns a 67 and he did one hell of a job.

[Dentguy]

This is what Im leaning toward.

Exhaust relocate.

Hey Dentguy,

I like the look of the hose vent. Does it have a filter element? Or a screen?

Where did you get it from?

I really like the look of the exhaust tip. Nice and subtle.

Can you post up some pictures of the exhaust from under the truck? I have the same tank and right now the exhaust is dumped right in front of the axle. Would like to get it ran all the way out the back. Would like to see how they ran it.

Thanks

[Dentguy]

Not a filter element but looks as to be just a breather.

[Dentguy]

Best picture I have of re routed exhaust. Hope it helps.

Went simple, low cost LMC suburban tank side fill and Tim fabbed & installed a custom adapter ring to utilize a GM OEM style in tank fuel pump and sender and this great corner fill set-up.

What a great full.

Would you happen to have a pic of the way you grounded it and also the vent itself?

Thats perfect. I don't mean to highjack your thread.

What rear springs do you have? 6" drop springs?

Thanks

[Dentguy]

I bought the truck with all the ECE lowering components already on it. He claimed it was a 2/4 drop with dropped spindles up front. But I'm thinking the rear is lower than just 4".

[Dentguy]

This is the valve I decided on and ordered up today. Simple and effective!

Here's the link to the valve. Got it today and must say very simple but effective little valve.

[SierraMtns]

Any updates on mounting the valve?

Now what do you do with your spare tire?

[Dentguy]

Ran the vent from rubber hose to aluminum hard line under the bed along frame to behind tailight. Then ended rubber hose with vent attached. Nice and high. Out of the way and breathing free.

[Dentguy]

Hard line run to vent behind taillight.

[Dentguy]

Really happy to not be breathing fuel fumes now. Never ran a spare tire. That's what AAA is for..

[Dentguy]

Look at all that space!! Well worth the work involved.
