    Canister still connected on mine & very similar tank /lid configuration on mine as well, unfortunately may have drilled mount brackets too large. Want quick connections , but yet to find proper way to tap into main tank safely. Plan is & have acquired an electric shut off valve & rocker switch for dash {keyed power , in case I forget valve has 8hour limit}. Really would like done just not getting there

    Venting via the aux tank seems to work well. I have a safety valve and filter on the vent from the aux but it would have been possible to route it all the way back to the canister.

    The other thing that wasn't visible in that photo is that I've got is a a second quick release coupling with a filter on it and a pipe that runs out the righthand side to the bottom of the Spyder, I can disconnect the aux tank and then connect this second vent pipe to the pipe from the main tank so it can still vent when the aux tank is disconnected/removed. Originally I was going to do this with a three way tap between the quick release and the main tank but this was easier to install at the time as I had the parts laying around.
