Some repop tanks came with no vent tube...If you need to add that 1 tube find the location, take a punch and send it through{ no drilling you need the material to go in}...Then either use your old line or make a new one and solder it in... I've done more than a few that way...You can buy the "S" shaped line going from the tank to the frame there's a stainless version out there...

one thing to include about adding a vent tube hole. while a tapered punch is absolutely required, you need a starter hole of 1/8-3/16" first, depending upon the size vent tube you are installing. if you don't do that, your tank will only incur an awful dent or six before your punch pierces the tank wall.
