I recently replaced my battery with one that featured a vent hose in lieu of vented caps.

Has anyone devised a means of dealing with the vent line so that corrosive gases are not just vented into the engine compartment? The instructions that came with the battery seem to suggest that some vehicles are equipped to deal with the problem. (ie: the supplied vent hose ties into some additional plumbing that is part of the vehicle.)

If the supplied hose is attached with no where to go, any discharge will just run into the battery tray and beyond.
