Not another Air Filter Question

Hi folks,
I've just replaced my air box from my petrol T25 for a smaller fancy blue stubby type.
The question is: what am I supposed to do with the 5 mm breather tubes that are just hanging there?
thanks
AlandAnn

Vacuum tubes to the carb must be sealed up ( assuming it is a carb)

I was scrolling through eBay, saw the blue sports one with the promise it would make my van drive faster and be more economical.... So I bought it...
Besides, the big black one that was fitted looked horrible.

Remember go faster stripes
I have a high performance cone style filter on mine

(though they are "usual" fitment for BLOS LPG installations)
Why do our vans always drive better after a good wash and valet

Is it true that the noisier an exhaust system is, the faster you can go ?

less wind resistance.
New tyres make it go faster too because they are bigger in diameter

Why were you speeding sir?
I was very short of petrol and was trying to get to the garage quickly.
