Default Tank Plumbing

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman">I am installing a Ryobi 31cc with a Haynes slime line tank in an aircraft. I am using and have mounted the primer ball. My question is how do I vent the tank. The tank has 3 lines, one from the clunk (feed), one fill, and one to (from)the primer bulb. Can I put a &ldquo;T&rdquo; on the primer bulb return as a vent?</font></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"><font size="3"><font face="Times New Roman"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes"></span>Thanks</font></font></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"><o><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"></font></o></p>

put the T in the return/fill line and the now open line for a vent, you can't back flow through a primer bulb so that plumbing works just fine, that's what I did. The primer makes starting nice.

actually, this is the Ranger of my user name:


Glad to help, I know more than most about these little engines (not as much as many on here though) and it's all self taught and from reading from those that know more than I... so I'm just trying to return the favor
