Anyone know where I can find a diagram of the vent and fuel lines for a dual tank setup on a '79 K-10? The truck has dual tanks with 3 outlets out of each sending unit. The tank selector switch has 4 inlet and 2 outlet ports and there are two charcoal cannisters up front. I know the 3/8" outlets on the sending units are the fuel lines that connect to the two 3/8" inlet ports on the selector switch. The 3/8" outlet port on the switch goes to the 3/8" fuel line running along the right frame rail. The 1/4" outlets on the sending units go to the two 1/4" inlet ports on the switch. I believe these are the fuel return lines. This is where I get alittle confused. There is the one remaining 1/4" out let from the switch and there is a vent line on the frame right in front of this port. Therefore I assume this connects to that port. There are the two remaining 5/16" outlets on the sending units. Do these get connected together and head up to a cannister? Do I really need two cannisters or can I just tee the vent lines together into one cannister?
Thanks for any help in this matter.

Thanks for the reply. No need to go look under another truck. When I was at the wrecking yard last week, I found a similar truck and was able to sketch up the routing scheme.
