Re: Replacement fuel tank questio
My '71 has the same vent lines. Originally, that line carried the vapors to the vapor (charcoal) canister. Vacuum controlled valves on the canister vented those vapors back to the engine.. The tank you have is for a different venting system.. First, you'll need a way for it to vent or when the fuel pump pulls fuel from the tank, the vacuum created will make the pump unable to pump fuel and the engine will quit running (literally run out of fuel), leaving you stranded somewhere..
Others may not agree, or will offer other options, but I'm of the opinion that you have the wrong tank for your application.. This is the main reason I DO NOT patronize Rock Auto.. Return it and get the correct tank for your application.
