Quick one - end piece on fuel breather hose

[paulandchez]

I'm just in the middle of replacing my entire fuel system.....hoping my problems have been cr@p in the tank, but I'm struggling to find what is supposed to be on the end of the breather line that comes out of the top of the expansion tanks. Got all the other breathers sorted, but these on my van both had nothing on the ends

Thanks

Hi,
Have you looked at the drawing in Wiki, Breather Tanks.

Do you mean these?

Yes that's them. I looked at the drawings in the wiki, but it doesn't explain what they are or where they go, just says end piece. I think I've figured it out that they just vent to atmosphere and sit above the tank. Presumably the only reason they end there is to stop cr@p from blocking them? Otherwise you could just leave them off the expansion tank....right?

Thanks

I've often wondered myself, as mine are missing. But couldn't figure out why I actually need them.
