Now I need to add a tank Vent, as When I drive the fuel gauge goes down Very quickly - It's the air Pressure Building up inside the tank causing the Float to be pushed under the gas..

Anyway I am going to put a 3/8" TEE into the pcv Line -from the charcoal canister Line that Went To the Carb Vacum port in the old Setup.

Thoughts??

Good, Bad, etc.

I can't visualize where the air pressure build up is coming from. It seems as if taking more fuel out than you are putting back would lower pressure. I just vented mine directly to the pipe between the air cleaner and the turbo intake. I was't sure I understood what your plan is. Are you involving the PVC somehow? Why doesn't your line to the charcole canister do the job? It seems like that should serve to keep things equalized either way.

I think My tank has a check valve in the top of it so If there is not a vacum Souece pulling the fumes into the charcoal can then They build in the tank and when I pop The gas cap whoosh!! The pressure is relaeased..

Now I will be pulling a vacum on the Charcal can again like I did with the carb so I should be good!
