just loop them over and vent to atmosphere.

my tank breather, i looped over over the top of the filler so it wouldn't empty the tank if it was overfilled, then right back down to below the tank so it won't empty if god forbid you roll.

i definitely wouldn't run them to a common tank whatever you do. fuel in oil? oil in fuel?

The diff vents to atmosphere as per Ford's original intallation.

My fuel tank vent is done the same as Tom's with a hose looped slightly higher then the filler neck and then back down to just below the base of the fuel tank. No filter or catch tank required, but make sure to use fuel grade hose though for SVA

In the axle casing tho there is just a hole, i assume it should have some kind of breather/pipe fitted to stop any crap gettin in there..?
