    Is there anything wrong w/ running one burn down tube into the other w/ a "T" so that only one tube has to run into the puke tank?

    what kind of car/motor combo, TAFC requires 2, 1.25" hose fittings into the tank, or one fitting with equal area.

    Yeah after thinking about it, it wouldn't make much since unless you ran a big tube from the "T". We don't run where there are any rules for it, just looking at ways around running one of the tubes clear up front then over to the side. Our tank isn't in the middle, but on the passenger side.

    Really don't skimp on the breathers. After last weekend, when we had a liner fail, pressurised the block, overwhelmed the puke tank (all build to exceed TAD spec) then pushed out the rocker cover gaskets and oiled the tyres....
    The next car might have twice the mandated breathers/puke tank....

    It sounds like you are trying to run hoses from the motor to the tank? On an altered/funny car type chassis most guys use the top frame rail as the tubes to the puke tank. The hoses go from each valve cover to the frame rail and the frame rails carry the venting to the puke tank where two hoses again connect the frame rail to the tank. Dave Germain

    tubes

    I run 2 1.25 tubes into a 2" diameter tube
    area of 1.25 tube is 1.22" x 2 = 2.44"
    area of 2" tube = 3.14"
