Petrol breather pipes to tanks I think

That's what I thought but can't smell petrol, both the rubber connections are brittle and I'm in Dorset but live in lancashire.

They're the breather tanks for the petrol tank. I think on hot days they allow the fuel to expand some and also regulate air blocks on one side of the tank when filling up and maybe allow the fuel pump to suck out fuel more easily.

If you can't smell petrol then all is well!
