    stores the petrol fumes/vapours from the tank then releases them into the inlet manifold usualy when driveing at mid-high speeds...

    do you not have to vent the pipe so the tank wont expand??

    you need to have a vent in the fuel tank yes, so i removed all of the pipework right back to the tank, removed the aux tank and breathers and replaced with a bypass pipe

    then connected up the 2 breathers and simply drilled a small hole in the top of the filler neck under the fuel cap
