Drilling the tube involves straightening the little elbow on the front upper upper right corner of the tank, and drilling out the insides. When you finish, you bend it back like it was.

So I was checking my vent tube going all the way back to the end of the tube and this was online which is im guessing a ball valve of sorts.. problem is I didn't pay attention to the direction it was instead because it seems I can only blow air through one direction.
