Hot Rods 32 Ford Coupe fuel tank vent opinions ;)

I'm putting together a steel 32 Ford Five-Window and was wondering if anyone here has used a one way vent and vented into the unused wheel well. Pros vs Cons? I can think of both but it's up in a clean space where the valve is likely to NOT fail.

 

I have done quite a few deuces of most body styles and I always keep the vent outside the car to prevent the possibility of any fumes being introduced into the interior.

 

Thanks, yeah that's my main concern of course. BTW I appreciate your input on The Ford Barn.

 

It needs to vent to the atmosphere, and it needs to be higher than the fill neck on the tank. On my 34 (tank visible behind the seat) I used a cool little check valve that was chrome plated, I installed it in the trunk recess outside the weatherstripping. Invisible with the trunk closed and quite frankly, pretty hard to find with it open. I am sorry in advance, but I cannot remember where I bought it. It was a marine application though.

 

My deuce has the stock type fuel tank. The breather comes up through the trunk floor, in the wheel well area, behind the upholstery panel, about six inches then bends downward through the floor. It vents outside under the floor pan.

 

I did my 5W much like pprather did.
I have a 3/8" hard line running across the top of the tank from the fuel pickup going towards the right side. Then I have a 6" or so long chunk of rubber fuel hose to allow for any potential vibration before it enters the body. In the body I have a rollover valve placed vertically. It was a type that had a large nut on one end so that end goes thru the floor and is secured tight (and is the end the rubber hose attaches to). From the rollover valve I have a 3/8" hardline go upwards (inside the body) but then turns 180 degrees to go downwards and exit outside the floor. This line drops an inch or so below the body and is to the outside edge of the frame rail.

 

@krylon32 where did you run the vent line on the hi-boys with original style tanks that you built?
On my fendered 32-5 window I ran the line inside the rear fender with clips at each fender bolt but that won't work on my current hi-boy build. Line must work as the end of it is moist.

 

I thought that everyone used a vented cap - whatever that entails…..
