We did the same thing when we redid Miss Cigarette. Worked great. I used the front tank like a ballast tank in rough races, only moving fuel when we needed it.

My 78 CIG 24 Race Boat had a second 24g tank installed forward of the original tank..they also used an electric pump to transfer from the front to the rear tank.
Although I am not sure using the original vent line was the best way to do that, that is how it was done. Pretty simple way to do it I guess. Took me a while to figure out why there was a T fitting in the Vent line about 2 feet down from the original filler/overflow/vent fitting. Pic of tank removed... not sure what to do with it now. http://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-WE...19-44-20_9.jpg |

Is that tank aluminum? Is the fuel sended good? My front tak sender has become flakey.

Heck it took 2 of us over an hour to get it out..sucker wasn't going anywhere. Sender is good, but senders are not all the same tank to tank, different tank depths etc. I also have an AFP 77 Gal aluminum tank, it is new and never been used, has sender etc. Was sat into a boat, plumbed and never used as the boat has never been rigged. Not sure what to do with it, came in a virgin hull I "thought" I was going to finish..LOL |
