sorry i've surfed the internet for a while and can't figure out where on an 8920 the fuel tank vents. I see it goes up the right rear post but after that i can't see. any ideas?

You've found the vent Bryce. The vent tube is routed into the cab frame, the end is bare.

Are you having trouble during fill up or with vacuum while running?

Just when filling. can i just take compressed air and unhook the tube off the tank?

Sure, just blow some air through it to make sure it's not restricted.

But....also check the fill hose under the fender from the neck to the tank, if it gets a droop in the middle it can cause slow filling. Might just need to adjust the hose a little.

You will probably need to blow some Blaster or something through that tube. I blew out the vent on a 7250 last summer and made it worse. I think maybe the A/C drains through there too.

The evaporator drain tubes run down the front of the cab, nowhere near the fuel vent.
