fuel tank venting w/perry regulated pump

[John Pavlick]

Tim,
 Yep. A one way valve works fine as long as it lets air IN to the tank. For
refueling you'll have to remove the valve temporarily, or put a T and a fuel
dot on the tank side of the valve. If you run the conventional
vent-at-the-top tank you don't really need the valve however.

  Could you use a one way check value that air to enter the tank or is the
idea to let air exit the tank?  I assume it is to let air enter the tank to
keep it from crushing itself from the pressure that is created from the pump
pulling the fuel out of the tank.  I am also thinking about installing a
perry pump to replace the regulator that I am using now.

  Ron,

  Vent to atmosphere through the same line that you would normally run to
your muffler, the line that has the internal tank tube that normally curves
to the top of the fuel tank, on the inside.

    i just installed a perry pump and the instructions say not to use
muffler pressure to the tank. my question is, how do i vent the tank
properly so i don't create a siphon from the vent line?
