[DeTomaso] Extra Connection On Gas Tank

[Forest Goodhart]

Roydon,
That connection is a dip tube that extends to near bottom of the tank. As such 
it does not function as a vent and if left open expansion of air in the tank 
could force fuel out. I recommend plugging it. Glad you are getting back on the 
road.
Forest

>>>It's functioning as an unfiltered vent at the moment.  There would be 
no harm in plugging it, or if you were really ambitious, you could "T" it 
into the line running to the charcoal canister.
