Default How are you venting a sumped tank?

Ive got a 95 ta with a turbo 5.3 4l80e combo. Now iv sumped the factory tank. But i have no idea how to vent this thing. This is a street/strip car. All i can find is run a 3/4in line out of the tank to the atmostphere. Any way to keep some fumes down? Im going to be running a 2.1gpm fuel pump. Thanks guys. Its great to have some experts on tap.

Being that its a steel tank weld a bung the size of the feed line to the filler neck. Run an AN hose off it. That will vent the tank.

I always run a rollover valve with a small breather on the top...think my chassis guy gets the setup from bickle or mcamis. Only around $20 in the parts. May be tough to get that under your floor, sticks up about 3 inches. Chuck
