Looking at the breather thread, and in my workshop manual, seems the breather to the fuel tank goes up a pipe, through a fuel filter then connects to the side of the chrome filler cap.
On my tank however, and not illustrated in the manual, next to my fuel level sender, I have the half inch diameter pipe that joins onto the side of the filler neck hose, but in addition, next to this, I also have a pipe that is perhaps 1/4 inch, just a couple of inches long, that connected to a plastic pipe that went straight out the boot floor with no filter, and it wasn't even raised so I wonder how much fuel I lost if I ever filled the tank to a higher level?
Is this extra breather tube standard?, or should I block it off?
To use it would mean I really should have two raised filters!
