I just bought a pop up gas tank off ebay. it is a left side petcock but, up front on the right side there is another nipple. what is this for, is it a vent, do I need it or can I just weld it shut?

it is made by AMERICANCLASSICMOTORS it is a new tank, it is smaller size 2.25 gal. where would I run the vent tube? I am guessing out and up the front of the tank by the bars

see if the other end of that tube is right at the filler neck, doesn't really need any hose on it it just replaces having a vent in the gascap
