8an return and roll over vent for a stock gas tank

I want to put a 8an return line and a 8an roll over vent on the top of my stock gas tank

Anyone did this before?
Did you install in just beside the fuel lines coming out the top of the tank?
Was there enough clearance?
I need about 2" between the tank and the trunk

Pics would help please too

8AN return line? Are you feeding the fuel system with a 12 or 16AN? 6AN is more than enough for a return.

Magnafuel recommended a 8an return and 8an vent
