Jim,
The vent from the fuel tank as well as the exhaust from the air/hydraulic
and the master cylinders are all connected together on some deuces. The are
terminated in the crankcase breather tube.
You may see some "back flow" from the breather tube.
I have my vents separated. The air/hydraulic cylinder exhaust goes straight
up along the firewall as do the two other vents.
I'm also experimenting with a crankcase breather filter, being worked on as
we speak.
