Default Best way to vent fuel tank with no stock evap system

Looking for best practice to vent the fuel tank on a track only 2004 GT3 after removing charcoal canister. I'm thinking a high loop with a roll over valve.

Yup. The discriminator valves work well. Lots of cars don't use them in. That's why you see cars dumping gas at the beginning of longer races - it's all coming out the vent. You don't always have to use the valve (it's a good idea) since the vent when brought back to the bottom of the car is above the tank when turtled. Sideways is different though.

Have used the ATL TF475 a few times with great luck right into the top of the pump basket. Run a hose then down under car. Works when filling to shut down and not spilling.

TPC Racing makes (or can make) them - this is discriminator valve and catch can - works for fast fueling w dry break setup

Is that a silicone hose? If so, they generally aren't rated for fuel use.
