If your tank is long and mounted across the centerline you may want to consider two vents. I plan to run them up opposite sides and converge at a single roof vent.
Also, mount a tee on one of the vents with the vent on the side leg and a threaded cap on the open end. You can use this as an inspection and dipstick port.

Where did you source a tank to retrofit? any measurments?
I was getting ready to buy some aluminum sheet and make one. I was going to make a tank 4 inches tall, 54 wide and 24 deep. I was going to alow 1 inch to hang below the frame rails and mount right behind the axle to keep the weight forward and keep it from being dragged.
