Default Fuel Vent help

Hello

Only just discoverered this forum, there's some talented builders about!!!! Really enjoying peoples builds. I not that good a builder but can assemble an ARTF given time normally 12 months....lol

Could someone help me please. I want to put a vent on the top of the tank. Can you just drill a hole and glue a nipple in? or does there have to be some internal work? I normally use a brass tube from the main hole up to the roof of tank. but postioniong means this hole on top would help the insatll.

Thank you

AP

After you drill the hole, if possible remove the clunk line and rinse out the tank to remove anything that may gotten into the tank during drilling.
