A question for anyone out there with a 1968 MGB-GT...
On the SU fuel pump, there is a nipple for a vent.
In my car, there is a piece of 1/8" i.d. vinyl hose attached
to it that is routed up through the floor and into the
spare-tire well. The line pokes through a grommet about 1.5" and is
attached to a plastic "tee". There is nothing else attached to
this tee. Naturally, the well always smells a little like fuel
even though the rubber hose attaching the filler neck to the
tank is well sealed and clamped. I can find no reference to
this vent line in any of the 3 different service manuals I have.
The 1968 did not come equipped with a charcoal cannister setup
or anything like that.
The question is:
What is this tee for ? Is this the proper routing for the
vent-line ? If not, what is ?
Thanks !
