Fuel tank vent

Post by silver1956 »

The pipe from the fuel tank vent goes into a brown plastic T piece, one branch disapears down through the fairing to vent out at the bottom, and the other shorter one goes ???? Mine wasnt connected to anything when
i took the tank off to clean it out. There is a rusty spigot under the tank should it go on there??
Thanks,
Dave

So do i ditch the tee piece and just vent the tank to air? Surely there is another component that vents through the spare pipe, i just want to know what it was and if it is important before i put it all back together.
Thanks,
Dave

No component, just a T piece. Download the workshop manual, it has the routing diagram
