Hello,

Can anyone tell me what the clear plastic tube is right underneath the fuel filling neck? When you open the fuel cap & look directly underneath the filling (nozzle opening) cap there's a clear'ish round cap with a hole in the top.

Is this a breather/ventilation tube from the tank? I've pulled it out a few inches & it is caked in gunk on the inside & I'm wondering if this is the reason for my fuel gauge playing up?

Thanks in advance

I thought that was just a drain to let any fuel or water etc that collected there to drain away ?

Yeah it's just a drain for the opening around the cap.

Yeah it's a drain, just come back from filling mine up, overfilled it slightly so the fuel went down the drain! Only a few dribbles. It is also there to stop water from building up next to the filler cap when it rains.

That's cleared that one up then!
