Kraken RC Billet Vent Cap Replacement for Snappy RC fuel kit 5B/5T/5SC

[ChuenouXiao]

I have one of these installed into one of my snappy gormet. My question is, how do I know its really venting my gas tank? How does it work or how is it design? My other is question is how deep should the fuel line from the vent cap go into the fuel tank? So far I didn't put the fuel line that deep because its purpose is to vent right? If I have a fuel tank... will it still vent even if the fuel line is partial submerge?

If you're not collapsing the tank and stalling out, it's doing what it's supposed to do. The vent line doesn't need to be deep. Maybe about half an inch in.

+1 yes its doing its job also you will not here a hissing noise when you release the gas cap.

With my kraken vent installed do I need to block my stock gas cap because it has a really small hole in the gas cap

 

[Deluge]

Yes. Seal it up with some Seal-All. Or enlarge the hole a bit and plug it up with a set screw.

Yes, was considering set screw mod. Thanks Deluge... you are the man!!!

I notice from some quick runs.... my Kraken Billet Vent cap spits out gas... is this normal? I don't like it cause it messy... any fix? Or should I just aim it into an area where spitting gas don't matter? Please help....

If you fill the tank completely, it'll spit a little. Just route it so it doesn't gunk up the chassis.
