24 oz Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 I have a question and ive searched but couldnt find an answer so I will ask it here. I have a 72 240z and I have an electric fuel pump and on one of the hoses to the fuel pump there is a breather and when I fill up my tank it will leak out about 2 gallons of gas overnight, so I was wondering if I even need this breather?

JMortensen Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 You weren't searching for the right thing. They're called vent hoses. They're a pain in the butt. Read some of these threads. http://forums.hybridz.org/search.php?searchid=258109 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24 oz Posted November 30, 2005 Author Share Posted November 30, 2005 Thanks, I read them but unfortunately I am still confused. So If I closed up the vent what would happen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 You'll only get about 8 gallons of gas in the tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jersey Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 maybe this will help a little... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24 oz Posted December 1, 2005 Author Share Posted December 1, 2005 That picture helps a lot because the hose I am talking about runs from the tank to my electric pump and it T's off and vents, which I dont think I need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
