Where on the septic tank do you install a septic tank vent?
The "septic system vent" you are referring to is not actually attached to the "tank" (that would be the buried, holding chamber in your yard) at all.

Due to the way the septic tank produces gases, caused by the breaking up of the bacteria in the tank. Filters and drain traps are put into the houses plumbing system that is designed to hold water in the lower loop and block the gases from flowing back into the house. Most houses on a septic system will have the vent pipe(s) on the roof of the house and this is where these gases are released, rather than going back into the house. Now obviously, if you have gases coming into your house, you got a problem and should definitely consult a plumber
