Since its going under the seatwhy not run a hose up the side of the seat with a vent on it?? You could put it up the side of seat between gunnle so its out the way and not really be seen.

MJ yeah that is the kind of thoughts I had. After I put the some water in there to clean it I shook it around a bunch and realized fuel wouldn't be likely to shoot up through that small 5/8 hole anyway even with a short section of hose. I still haven't made up my mind but will decide after I get a chance to take a pressure washer to the inside of the tank this weekend hopefully. I went ahead and bought that 90 degree fuel vent that doesn't let water in. That will eliminate the threat of rain or spray entering the tank. I'm looking forward to getting out there fishing, I can tell you that much!

Got the fuel tank a little over 1/2 cleaned out. Used the pressure washer and a whole bottle of "Greased Lightening" in the process. I'm seeing a little bit of light at the end of the tunnel. Hopefully I can get all of the crap out of it! I found that letting the greased lightening sit in there for a couple hours really loosened the gook up.
