Default Fuel cell vent line hose size?

I have a nasty performance fuel cell which has -10an fittings on it.

Does anyone know if it will be an issue running a -8 or -6 line from the cell instead of the -10?

Breather should generally be sized at least the same as the fuel outlet itself or bigger, you could also consider fitting a roll-over valve.

It will but I have an open like with a rollover valve on it and a loop. I'm gonna change it to a billet catch can that that will separate fumes and burped gas.

Kind of like nasty performances can.

That being said I'm not a fan on a street car of just a vented line with a rollover valve in it, would prefer a check valve setup that only opens with pressure.
