Ken,
In my case when I developed a leak in my Mk1 Tank, I installed one from
a '74 1500. I had to do a few changes including dealing with the vent
tube. I had no carbon canister so I routed a line to the right and into
a hole I drilled in the right hand fender well. I sealed around it with
Mastic so there would be no fumes come back into the trunk area. It has
worked well for a couple of years now.
Your idea appears sound to me although the raw fuel vapors would
ordinarily be routed to the carb to be burned. I would at least attach
a hose that is routed to a point low on the car to keep vapors away from
hot exhaust. You never know!!!!
Regards,
Joe
