    fuel breather

    Hi all
    Noticed strong smell of petrol in boot of car on further investigation I found that there is a breather pipe missing that goes from the top of filler neck to a filter (which was also missing ) & then out through the boot floor . I bought the car last year & prior to buying the car one of the previous owners had replaced the boot floor & unfortunately didn't bring the breather through the floor the diagrams that I have seen all show the pipe & gromit etc but not where they actually exit the boot floor .The drawings also show a second pipe & gromit & cannot see where they attach ,the filter seems to be the same as the one under the bonnet which is fine but I assume that there will always be a path for the fumes from the tank to escape from,is this breathers purpose for allowing air in when filling the car with petrol if so I wonderd whether an air admittance valve could be better for this but I do realize that this may be an issue so how do other cars overcome these problems.
    Thanks in advance for any help

    Hi Liam, it's a vent/overflow, the filter is just acting as a flame trap. Martin.

      Hi Liam,

      This pic isn't of my car and I know that some are different but I hope this may be of some help.

      Cheers

        Hi Julian, both those hoses are wrongly routed ! They should both go down inside the wing, aside from anything else, the side board, and the boot boards won't fit without modification. Martin.

          Ok Martin. Although the colour is similar to mine, as I said, it's not my car or picture ! ( I wish mine looked as good as that )

          Cheers

                  Hi Martin, mine are the same as Julian's I think. I can see they can go inside the inner wing, but where do they come out again to be able to go down through the grommets?

                    Through that triangular aperture where the rear wheel arch meets the boot floor. Just above where the two pipes cross in Julian's photo.

                      Basically wot 'e said . Can't get pics at the mo, but they drop through near the inner wing/boot floor join. Martin.
