Fuel Tank Decals

Hi,

I want to replace the decals on my 03 K5 tank, but I don't want to waste the money if they're just going to bubble again.  I have heard that removing the check valve in the vent line will eliminate the vapors from bleeding through the tank?
 

Thanks

Not sure what the solution is , but , I just replaced the tank decals on my 2003 K5 with the factory decals . They were extremely expensive and went on perfect . Lasted a grand total of two days and they were all bubbled up and looking terrible . Not happy .

To put new OEM decals on a tank that has had fuel in it already,is almost certain to destroy the decals...unless you plan on buying a new tank as well :|.That's why when you buy aftermarket decals,they come with slots or small circular holes pre-cut into them,so the fumes can escape.Here's a pic of my N-style graphics showing the slots cut in them.Mine is a 95,so it's seen it's fair share of fuel...and still no bubbles.

I have an 03 too, and was thinking of spending the 100 buscks to get the OEM ones.  Maybe I'll just pull them off instead.  I would like to get a new tank, but the OEM ones are around 275.

I had to pay $60 + tax for each tank decal ( just the tank )and it bubbled in two days .
