An improved vent for a fuel tank is disclosed for a fuel tank having a tank top wall defining an access aperture. The improved vent comprises a canister defining an internal volume having an open top secured to an interior surface of the tank top wall adjacent to the access aperture defined in the tank top wall. A vent aperture is defined in a sidewall of the canister with a proximal end of a vent pipe secured to the vent aperture. A hanger interposed between the interior surface of the tank top wall and the vent pipe for spacing the distal end of the vent pipe from the interior surface of the tank top wall to enable fuel entering the distal end of the vent pipe to close the float valve. The improved vent permits the canister to be located at a first preferred location for servicing of the float valve while permitting the distal end of the vent pipe to be located at a second preferred location for enabling venting upon the tilting of the fuel tank.
