Hi, On the 190 Fuel Tank is the middle hose the 'Fuel Tank Air Breather' does anybody know please ? Of the the three hoses out of the bottom of the Tank, large hose is fuel out, and the fuel return is the opposite end of the three with the plastic non-return valve. So I was guessing that the middle hose would be the Fuel Tank Air Breather which would be routed all the way to front N/S wing to the Charcol Filtre that JohnBoyMac advised of. Fuel Tank has no other pipes out. Many thanks, Regards, The Gorilla. |

Hairy one, I can't advise on that as I never had the tank out or needed to disconnect any hose/pipes. But the breather pipe running from the n/s/f does if memory serves me correctly run to the bottom of the tank. |

Hi, JohnBoy Mac- thanks for the reply. I am pretty sure its the middle hose, which the Fuel Tank Breathes via the Charcol Filtre. Its all to do with the petrol vapours not being released directly into the atomosphere. As I am re-configuring them all I just wanted to double check. Regards, The Gorilla. |

Yeah, that's my understanding of the breather purpose - recycling fumes nothing more. |

Hi, Papa- many thanks for that. I was incorrect, the middle hose is the return, and the end hose with the non-return valve is the 'breather'. Regards, The Gorilla. |
