Just got a petrol tank, because hopefuly one day I'll need one ???

It's a standard tank 70's tank.  What are all the pipes for ???  The obvious ones, filler, outlet to engine, then 2 more. A 10mm (ish) one next to the in filler, and a tiny one on the n/s of the tank. 

I was working on the theory of using the 10mm one for a beather, but what about the tiny one??

Thanks

the 10mmm one as you say is the fill vent hose that connects to the neck just below the filler this hose also has a T peice in with a 2-3mm outlet which is the  breather vent hose that goes up across the dash frame on a beetle and exits inside of the nearside front wheel to stop fuel spillage if the car is rolled in an accident. 
the small one on the l/h/f can be blocked off it is level with the top of the fuel on a full tank and may well leak fuel out of the breather with expansion or can be used as a fuel return if carb the set up needs one.

Do you know Aiden, I spent about 7 years intent on a centre fill tank, but recwently decided that's just too common on buggies  ;D ........ so I'm now going for an off-set filler.  ;-)up

No offence to anyone with a centre filler  :-*


(I might put a centre fill on the GP, but on current form that won't be for about 15 years  ;D ;D ;D )

Thank for then offer ASiden, but I'll pass.   Someone else on here will probably bite your hand off for it.  Bung it in the for sale section.

By the way, do we known who bought the Volksrod shell??  Is it staying local??
