Default 79 FLH80 - Gas Tank Lines

For those with fat bob tanks, do you use a "T" on the top fuel line between the two tanks?
Thanks

On mine, there was no "T" - just a balancing line directly between the top fittings on each tank.

IIRC, the right hand tank cap has a vent in it while the left does not, so connecting the top fittings together balances pressure between the tanks, and it vents through the RHS gas cap.
