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.

When I bought my 914, there was a single 3 mm hose coming from the expansion tank and terminating, open ended, in the frunk. So, I knew where the gas smell was coming from. I build a charcoal canister, filled it with small charcoal pellets and connected the canister to the 3 mm hose coming from the expansion tank. I located the canister next to the expansion tank. I purchased 3/8” aluminum tubing from Summit Racing and ran the tubing from the charcoal canister through the drivers rocker panel to the intake on my Subie engine. Much, much less gas smell although still faint gas smell.
