Hi, I just picked up an older omc metal 6gal tank. Do you still have to vent these tanks like the plastic ones while running? If so, how? Crack open the cap? <br /> Thanks,<br /> Rocks

Rock... If the fuel tank connector has two small stainless steel pins sticking out of it (the plug on connector would depress tham), one is the air vent, the other is a fuel valve (self venting).<br /><br />If those pins do not exist, then you would have to crack the cap... and that's not a good idea!
