Also, venting allows the water to expand and shrink. Definetly necessary when you are heating the storage tank (not sure if you're doing that)

Hi,Venting is not necessary for filling (although it is definitely better). However, for usage/draining, it needs to suck in air to.
I'm not sure about the connections you have, but you can just connect a small hose to a very high point so water doesn't come out when your on an angle.
However, overfilling can also lead to water coming out of the vent hole.
On my old landcruiser the vent hole (with small air filter inside) was also done through the body at a high location.
Now I didn't make a new hole for it, I just have hose to a high point, but if water is coming out it will be able to run away through the door opening. Not ideal, but better then inside the car.
If you just use an open hose, you could still run temperature sensor wires through there maybe?
Thanks, I think that it is fine. I really don't care too much about the look but care much more about functionality. It works just fine and it doesn't limit me in any way. I think that I will leave it as it is for now. Too much on my plate .Sorry to hear that, I can still ship one out before you put the cruiser in the container.
You did a pretty good job with your hands, but can you take it off and straighten it out a bit more with a mallet and block of wood underneath?
Perhaps cut a slight dip into a 2x4 and try to hammer it down the best you can with aluminum slightly heated like 150*
Got quick response from Equipt1, great customer service !
