[TPR] Valve cover breathers

[Asa Jay Laughton]

John,

I thought about this, but have a concern.  If I simply plug the canister 
line from the tank, and if I don't have a gas cap that breathes, won't 
this give me a pressure problem in the gas tank?

I see this as having two solutions:
- Vented gas cap, or
- Vented tank

Bud sent me some ideas too that he did.  I'll have to take a look at it 
all to see how I want to do it.

Anyone install a rollover valve?  Do you have pictures?  Does it sit 
below the filler neck?  What happens if you overfill?
