Saddle tank as main tank - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hey guys... First post so be nice

!
Here's my question. I have a 72 1/2 ton. It came with 2 saddle tanks as well as the behind the seat stinker tank... I removed passenger side tank and removed the under the seat switch. I joined the driver side saddle tank hose directly to the hose going to fuel pump. Truck runs fine and doesn't seem to leak or have any issues. My concern is the saddle tank has no vent lines that I can see. I assume the gas cap must be a venting type?
Is this a safe set up besides the accidental side impact blowing me up?

Want to pull the behind the seat tank ASAP but don't want to screw myself if you guys see potential problems?
