Whatever sanctioning body you're going to race under will have rules for it...might vary I'm not sure. Check with them. Think most just require it vented outside the car.

well i'm not entering any class of drag racing. just a test n' tune session when i get it all done. the i have it set up to use part of the factory filler neck.....i guess what i should have asked was "how do most of you guys set up your vent system with a fuel cell"

thanks for the reply though.

Vent it to the outside...

Be sure to coil up the vent line a few times before turning it down to go through the floor. Otherwise, it will siphon fuel when the cell heats up and trys to push fuel out the vent...

Also, be sure to run a ground wire to the metal filler ring on the fuel cell...
Without the ground wire, you run the risk of burning your car to the ground...
