Question about OEM main gas tank.

[70 Steed]

I thought all OEM main gas tanks had the vent tube to the rear of the fuel filler inlet. Here’s a pic of my, what I believe to be, OEM tank. Its hard to see in the pic but the vent is forward of the fuel inlet.

Can anyone shed some light on this?

Nope there is an early and late style... My 67 and 69 are/were forward...

Bronco is a ‘70. Do you know when they changed?

Sorry Skip, I don't know...

I noticed this with the last Mass Buy, I asked Jake at Aero to put the vent on the front as I didn't want the vent line looped over the filler.
He said they are all in the back... And I replied no they are not, at least with the two I have.

I bought the M1A1 23 gallon tank from WH. It has the vent in back. I also bought a new filler/vent line from WH. It is set up for the vent in the back. At the time I didn’t realize my OEM tank had the vent in the front.

My 66 also had the vent tube in the front
