[QUOTE="bassboy1, post: 163053, member: 55"] I've always had my 6 gallon and smaller tanks removable. I don't particularly like removable tanks, but generally, whenever I'm rigging an engine small enough for a 6 gallon tank to be adequate, I want it to be removable for electric motor lakes (both to follow the no fuel tanks present rule, and to allow space for additional batteries). On the vent, I would do more than the for and aft vents. Actually, I don't use them much, instead venting the tank outside directly. The vent screw in the caps of most portable tanks are 1/4" NPT, so a plastic 1/4" NPT - 1/4" barb, and some hose is all that is needed. A quick disconnect somewhere along the line allows for the tank to be removed from the boat for filling, and for the cap to be removed. [/QUOTE]
