[Tigers] FIller neck vent question

[Ron Fraser]

Jay
    I don't know about a metal pipe across the center.   Mine was just a
rubber hose but I'm not going to rule out other options.

Another source of fuel smell and leaks is the gasket for the fuel level
sender.   I was parked on a slight slope with full tanks and I had a slow
leak of fuel out the fender drain hole.  I moved my Tiger to level ground
and replaced the gasket later.

Ron is 100% right.  It is also a huge source of fuel smells that people
don't realize to check.  I seem to recall that for some years, the pipe was
metal across the center, with rubber/hardened something at each end going to
the top of the tanks.  It allows the gas and pressures between the two tanks
to balance back and forth.

        This is listed in the Alpine Parts List Section UA - #19 breather
pipe - #20 Clip - 2.

There is a nipple on the other side tank that the breather tube attaches.

Offhand, I don't know the size of the hose, possibly 3/8", or how long.

The hose runs between the metal framing where the trunk hinges mount.

Good Morning all:

I am putting my car together and it runs, wow.  The fuel cap filler neck has
a vent that points towards the front of the car.  My question is what does
this connect to or is it open, which doesn't make any sense.  I cannot find
any details in the either the parts books or either service manual, (Alpine
or Tiger). Any help would be appreciated.
