Fuel tank venting Options

[FJ1200]

Morning,

I think its finally time to address the fuel smell on my 72. I pulled the tank last night and it looks like the tank was probably replaced at some point as it is near perfect. I ordered new stainless tunnel lines from Chris Foley as well as new hoses and clamps for both ends. My question is venting. There is literally no hoses left in the frunk. It looks like the 3mm lines should all tee together and tie to the charcoal canister. So 2 ports on the expansion tank, 1 port on the filler neck and the then the canister. Is this right? If so then I should need 2 tee's. The overflow hose looks like it is currently NA, 914 rubber is out of stock as are other vendors. Has anyone used 3/4" clear poly tubing in its place? Lastly after I hookup the canister does anyone offer a clean looking solution to tie the suction side into IDF air filters?

Thanks.

the pipes or tubes go down the drivers side behind the rocker cover.
the charcoal canister gets mounted to the top of the tank in a 72, so it stays up front.

The overflow tube sadly just goes out the bottom of the car right next to the large hole to access the tank fittings on the bottom....you will see a 3/4 round hole. It vents to the atmosphere.

You will need to find some enclosed air filter covers to feed the fumes into the carbs...never seen that done.

If you are dealing with a smell in the garage, and all the lines are new and not leaking...I suggest you get a fuel shutoff valve, then once you park the car, let it idle until it dies. This removes the fuel from the carb bowls, it helps prevent solids from building up in the carbs.

Sadly, with the amount of ethanol in the fuel now, it evaporates very quickly, and smells up the garage a lot more as a result.
