Fueltank vent or not?

I have no ventilation installed on my fueltank, plugged the 2 outgoing pipes. Can that create a problem except that vacuum that builds up?

Shouldn't cause a problem except as you stated with the vaccuum issue.  As long as something lets some air in and the vaccuum doesn't build, you are fine.

I plugged the extra outlet on my sending unit. No return or vent line. Remember there is a vent on the filler tube, it has worked fine for me this way. :2thumbs:

OK friend, is there a special reason?  :cheers:

Collapsed gas tank. You need those tank vents or a fairly big-azz hole in your fuel cap.

I think the vent is needed Per.....we all need to vent now and then!  :lol:

The rubber hose on the end of the tank vent on my Challenger got kinked once. It took a while to figure out why my car ran like it was running out of gas after i drove it a few miles. I guess the mechanical fuel pump can't overcome the vacuum that will build up in the tank. So, yeah, you need some kinda vent.
