Fuel line into gas tank

[Jayman62]

Hello Guys, I changed gas tanks in my 1966 Dodge Dart GT. along side the gas tube there is a smaller metal fuel line that connects to the top of the gas tube and travels around and eventually goes through the black inlet covering next to the main fuel filling tube. The end of this smaller line (which I assume is some sort of vent) looks deteriorated at the end. I assume this goes into the tank too? So basically I'm asking how this should be routed. Here's some photos.

Thank you for your help.

66 is bound to be a bit different than 67 but....

The vent tube starts at the filler neck, does a few bends then followes the filler neck down through the filler tube gasket, then typically to the inside of the driver's side rear frame rail.

The rotted out section might end right where it is or it might have a missing section that should go somewhere else.

BTW... what color is your dart?

Yes it does do the bend up around and then down through the black tank inlet gasket or cover, I assumed it went back to the tank, but maybe it just vents out the bottom? BTW my Dart is, or was, silver metallic or whatever Dodge called it. At this point it's pretty worn.

Do you know the paint code number, like DD1 etc.

The end of the vent that is rusted has to exit to the atmosphere, oryou don't have a vent.

No photo. But only the fender tag would show the paint color

If there is enough good metal outside the gasket you could cut it and use a union to attach a bit of good tube.

Most of all be sure there are no holes in the tube inside the trunk or kabooom!

Yes I saw that post, looks like it just vents like you say out to the world, LOL. I think only the tip is rusted it's still plenty log enough to vent out the seal. Thanks. I think it say AA1

It has to vent overboard. The 67/ later goes down and "dead ends" (open) inside the rear frame rail

Thank you all for the replies. I have a 66 so sounds like it is different than the 67 in regards to exit location. So overboard just means vented where it exits into open air? That's what I take from your reply but just making sure.

Yes. OUTSIDE the trunk LOL

Yes. OUTSIDE the trunk LOL

Depends on who's locked in the trunk!
