Question on Vent Fuel Tank

[mvaughn12]

Does anyone have and mods or directions and or pics on venting the tank of the chimera? I really hate the way this tank is not properly vented. I was auctaully getting a pressure build up where gas seemed to be coming our of the fuel filter.

This is my XB. It would also work for the Chimera.

So that hose is the breather for ventilation cool

How did you mount the brass valve to the tank?

so with the hose pointed thru the frame does it also push back some gas thru it onto the ground? and how did you mount the brass fitting?

I drill a third hole in the grommet while it's mounted to the tank. If you go slow and back the bit out several times and clean it, you can prevent debris from falling into the tank. Then you just push the trimmed brass fitting into the grommet. Make sure the fitting us short enough so it doesn't touch the fuel when the tank is full. I just used a barb fitting to fix the other end of the line to the chassis side guard.
