It is vented for air in. I have seen some swelling just push down on the vent screw to relieve

The gas cap has a vent that you can close when not in use (like most marine tanks). I have had no issues with swelling after several months of use, but it stays in the shade. It's a nice tank. I'm very satisfied.

The tank is vented. I have not had it out in the sun yet. It is put away for the winter.

The one I got was vented (the cap has a screw type vent), but the fuel line did not swivel as advertised. Additionally, it does leak out of the fuel line during storage when going through temperature changes...I seem to have this problem with a completely different metal tank, so I'm not sure if it's something I'm doing (or not doing correctly).

i am not a expert on this matter but the discharge comes out of the top vent and unless you adapt a vent pipe to connect to the front i would not take the chance.I err on the side of caution myself and leave the venting to the experts so i can sleep well at nights and not worry.I just follow the directions because it is gas and dont want to take a chance.I will say that i am very happy with the product and have no regrets with my choice.I am already saving money,got rid of my ugly outdoor tank and to be honest its pretty cool. I hope this helps.

No, the tank is not insulated. I've hade mine for nearly a year but have had no trouble with condensation despite no insulation.

yes it is vented and if your tank neck is very shallow where the tank neck accepts the cap tabs this cap is perfect and as far as the year for this cap it seams no matter what year it is even the people salling the caps do not know there are several tanks out there they used if you still have your old cap take a look at each one on amazon and match it up it took me a while to study them but its not too hard too do you can turn the caps around and over

Yes, the unit is vented to the back. I get a lot of compliments on it. Best money I spent all year. No one beats Amazon's prices. I got the bang for my buck with this one.

I did not know this till now. Anyway, my tank is 10 gals too. The heater is totally inside the tank but it's not always fully submersed, it's about 1" away from the water most of the time but so far, it works great.

No....this is not a vented cover and you would have a problem with overheating. It does trailer fine though.

The tanks are a thick plastic, And i think its a thick 2 row core but i could be wrong i have had mine installed for a while now with no cooling issues what so ever the engine temp stays at normal operating temps even during rush hour traffic in the hot summer months of southern California. i check the the coolant level once a week and i have yet to fill the radiator or the overflow tank. hope this info helps.

I think it will have some leakage from the seams. I think I had read in the directions before we set it up, it stated that it would have a little leakage from the seams. We've had no problems with ours yet, the only thing I noticed was fading of the colors from the sun!!

I don't see why this tank wouldn't work for that. The only problem would be when you store the boat make sure to open the cap because it will swell a good bit. The vented hose doesn't seem to give it enough of a vent to keep the tank from swelling in extreme heat.

Unsure what your question is. My tank sprung a leak that I could not find. What a mess to clean up cold water. Did not contact seller, just took it as a loss. Attractive tank, but has problems.

I have mine in a very large tank, and it is on most of the time, but I remove it in the summer, (It is outside in the greenhouse for my aquaculture.) It does seem to cycle off, but my use is not what it is designed for, that said, it keeps my 100+gallon tank comfortable for the fish, I also have styrofoam on the top for the plants, which adds extra insulation.

No problem. Has plenty of vents. Took ours to all summer rallys with water and a bowl.

clarify your question. I suspect you are overfilling the tank. You must allow "head room" so you can pump the tank up, filling the space with air.

Yes it is vented. In the front it there is a mesh window. Even if you put the cover down, there is plenty of air flow.

Yes it is totally sealed, waterproof where u can submerge it in water. My tank is larger than what it is rated for and works perfect.

Water entry is via hole at base of tank, which is sealed off from vent at top whilst allowing steam thru. Its a little fiddly in practice only small amount of water leaks as u put it back. If u dont want to carry it, id advise using a watter bottle.
