We have a street dune buggy that has a gas smell coming out somewhere. There is no leak, but is a hose bent over under the dash. Is there supposed to be a vent on the gas tank?

Most vehicles have an escape for fumes that develop in warm weather. Modern cars route the escape tube to a container of activated charcoal under the hood. Your dune buggy, being "handmade", probably has only the tube, no emmisions canister.

If your gas line is bent over the dash then the gas fumes could be trapped and what you smell as gas smell is those fumes trying to escape.
Gas lines that use a return vent line are intended to be mounted vertically. Try putting your hose vertical and see if the smell goes away.

Better have a vent or the tank will implode in cold weather and burst or swell in hot.
