fuel overflow

I'm just about to fit mk's plastic tank.Where does the overflow go? Mine has a small vertical pipe at the opposite end to the filler neck.

overflow?
are you sure its not a breather? a breather should vent to the atmos preferably hrough a one way valve.(failing that looping the pipe a couple of times..)

It's a breather not an overflow and Mr Viper is correct.

georgeg,

Do a forum search on vent - it's been discussed earlier.

The breather becomes an overflow when the cars inverted and the valve doesn't do it's job - neither failure modes desirable .

Cheers,

Colin
