Where does the gas tank vent line go to? Does it connect to anything at the other end?

It just runs down and vents out by the engine sump, along with the drain pipe from the tank. Remember to check both the roll over valve and the aluminium screw in fittings in the bottom of the tank unit. These are all prone to getting clogged up easily.
