Help with Replacing Fuel Tank

It's only been 4 hours. :D

I suppose you could eliminate it, I'm not real familiar with tha vent system myself.

But, that being said, if you do you would need, at the very least a vented cap. There has to be a way for the tank to breath.

Think sucking on a straw with your finger over the end. Doesn't work well, the straw collapses. The tank will have the same effect (not collapse) but it will prevent gas being drawn up to the carb via the pump.
