Jonathan Pounsett Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 I can see where this pipe goes into the boot floor but I can’t see where it comes out. I’ve look on my other Manta and the Mk1 but it’s nowhere to be found. I can’t believe it terminates in the rear chassis leg! Does any one know? I’d be chuffed if someone could have a look and let me know. 🤞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTEPETE Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Just checked on a spare tank I have, it follows the line of the larger inlet pipe the bends off to enter in the centre of the tank....found this on ebay... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Pounsett Posted July 30, 2021 Author Share Posted July 30, 2021 Sorry I wasn’t very clear. The vent pipe goes out through a hole in the boot floor but I can’t see where it exits externally. Haynes says “A vent pipe is clipped to the bottom of the tank and leads out through the luggage compartment floor” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulmanta Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Out to air, through the rubber bung on the left side on both mine. Around an inch sticks through the floor and exits in the axle tunnel area. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTEPETE Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Pretty sure its an overflow pipe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulmanta Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Not overflow by design, it's a breather, its to allow air back in the tank as petrol is removed by using the car and also to allow for any expansion and contraction of the fuel by heat/cold, and to let air out as you fill the tank up. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cam.in.head Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 yes its only a breather. just checked mine also for you. it sticks into the boot floor/ chassis section and sealed with a putty solution.only goes in an inch or so .nothing exiting below on mine. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Pounsett Posted August 4, 2021 Author Share Posted August 4, 2021 So, theoretically it’s sucking in fresh air and unlikely to eject any fuel into the chassis rails? I’m happy with that. 🙂 I have determined the holes are as follows; 1 - Fuel supply pipe to fuel pump/engine through rubber grommet/bung 2 - Fuel tank breather pipe sealed with mastic/putty 3 & 4 - Fuel tank trim panel locating holes.
