Fuel tank breather - Fuel tank breather

[John Larkin]

The fuel tank in my UK specification 1974 P6B has two breather pipe connections close together near the fuel filler pipe. The tank was recently removed and re-installed by others who left the plastic breather pipe loop in the rear left roof pillar disconnected. Both of the breather connections on the tank have plastic pipes attached which run to the right side of the car. One disappears downwards forward of the tank and the other loops up into the right roof pillar before dropping down again forward of the fuel tank. None of the breather pipe arrangements in the manuals that I have resemble my installation. Can anyone tell me the correct breather pipe arrangement?

Not sure if mine are right either..to open an old thread,any ideas anyone?..i think the coiled up one from the roof goes on the outlet nearest the filler cap..but which one of the other two goes to the other outlet,is one plugged,like it seems to be in the manual(quite vague!)

Mine go two different directions from the tank, up near the filler pipe. But they both end up going down the back of the tank and through two holes in the floor, near the fuel tank sender.
