Trying to install a deck mounted remote oil fill for my VRO oil tank. Must the cap be vented? If yes is there a stainless deck fill that is suitable other than the plastic/ zamak found in the OMC kits. OR Is there another way to vent the tank allowing me to use a solid stainless non-vented deck fill? 1998 225 Rude

Without running out to look at mine, is the plastic cap vented? If not, its not a vented system

Not near the boat. It appears that the OEM kits ( that I have seen) show a vented cap. I am not sure if that applies to all VRO tanks.

I replaced the entire assembly (3 gallon tank) plus hoses 2 years ago. Don't remember if it was vented.

The boat is here at the house. I'll check later today
