Hey guys, kind of a specific question i couldn't find anything on in search.

I have an after market built 70 series fuel tank. I am not sure the manufacturer. Likely out of AU? I am trying to run my hoses, and vents correctly, I feel like i got it right but don't want to screw it up.

Could anyone with insight on a tank like this help me out?

Edit:
I believe it is a Brown Davis tank, i have sent them an email as all the tanks on their site don't exactly look like this (Older model?) hopefully they will respond soon.

1/ Small Feed
2/ Big Return
3/ Filler neck drain
4/ Fill spout
5/ Vent 1
6/ Vent 2

Am i wrong? Should where i think the vents are actually be fuel in/out?

TIA!

Ill have a look at it and see what i can see

Thanks man! They got back to me, but said it doesnt look like one of their tanks :( though he did tell me some tips on how to tell which port is fuel pickup (internal tube run's to tank bottom). Glad i asked because i'm probably wrong in my assumptions. After studying a Brown Davis schematic of a similar tank, What i believe things should be are:

1/ Expansion/Vent
2/ Expansion/vent
3/ Filler neck overflow
4/ FIller spout
5/ Pickup-Feed line (3/8")
6/ Return line (5/16")

If you could confirm that would be awesome.

TIA

Edit: In case anyone wonders about this in the future this is the correct configuration. You can look into the port with a flashlight and see the pickup tube.
