THE TANK INCORPORATES A ROLLOVER VALVE AND A 5/8" RUBBER VENT HOSE EXTENDING FROM THE TOP OF THE TANK. IT IS POSSIBLE, WITH THE MOUNTING OF THE FIBERGLASS BODY, THE VENT HOSE CAN BE CHAFFED FROM THE FIBERGLASS BODY UNDERSIDE.
The risk
THIS COULD CAUSE A FUEL VAPOR LEAK WHICH COULD LEAD TO A FIRE OR EXPLOSION.
