I also FINALLY got the fuel tank properly vented. I was going to run the vent line to under the hood, but that kinda scared me with a hot engine, so I decided that I would run it up the stake pocket in the bed. I used a motorcycle vent that JohnFabris suggested I use. It's supposed to only suck in and not let anything out, but I didn't trust that, so I mounted it in the stake pocket so it would be higher than the fuel level in the tank and possibly in the filler neck and added about 6" (just to be safe.) It's shaped like a hat so water should never get in the tank. I still need to add a bunch of hose clamps and a better hold down for the line, but at least I can put more than 1/4 tank of gas in the truck now.
