Received a new gas tank. After shipping cost and availability were taken into account I purchased a poly 16 gallon tank for my 41 from Chevys of the 40s.

Not quite sure what to do with this. This tank has a vent on it that they recommend installing above the fill tube. Have any of you had to install a vent and if so where? I was thinking of running it along side the fill tube and mounting it to that just below where it leaves the fender. Not above it but close. Any foreseeable issues with this? Why does this tank need a vent when the old ones did not? Do I have to have the vent?

Trying to remember if the tank mounts flush with the floor above it. This one needs space on top for a vent line and the fuel line. There is a trench to run the fuel line in but the vent looks like it my hit the strap if I run it forward.
