I dont know who designed that tank but they should be fired. From the looks of it I think everyone has pretty much lost their job anyway. I have an older E.M. that I had a tank built for. Filler on the top like it should be. Yes the filler and vent come through the trunk, and you have to go over through the side panel of the rear wheel tub to get to the filler on the fender.

That tank is a fire waiting to happen in my opinoin. I didnt see a vent at all in the top section of that tank. All tanks have vapor build up but it is vented off and not allowed to build up any pressure. That tank has no way to vent the vapor pressure so in all reality you are pressureizing the whole tank. As the car vibrates and bounces going down the road it could possibly build up quite a bit of pressure essentialy making a ticking time bomb. That tank and any others like it need to be vented on the top. Just my thoughts.
