when i suck the compresor nozzle 2 inches into the vent, and sealed the opening with a rubber gromet. the hose almost blew,which meant no aire whatsoever passed thoough.
ill check for kinks tomorrow. i have to lower one end of the tanks in order to get to the top.

with the vent at the top of our tank I don't think you will be able to hear air bubbles or get a siphon. I have read where some got tired of loosing water out of a vent with a full tank that they put a shut off valve on the vent line. Your rig was used did you see anything like a valve on the vent tube? Have you tried checking with the original owner and see if he knows whats going on? Might save you some time..

Yep, put a 90 into the tank should be fine, there's no flow so pressure drop isn't an issue. Can you get in there to spin in a 90?
