I wondered about the irony of venting fuel 'fumes' into the battery
compartment but apparently it's just there for a dry, clean source of 'air'
. I found this explanation and although it's about MGBs , it explains the
function

Jim, you are correct. The vynil tube connects to the fuel pump vent. I
presume the thinking was the air in the trunk was cleaner than that under
the car.

Hello friends,
?As I near completion of the removal of the black pitch-like substance with
which the FPO coated the floor of the trunk, I had to remove the
battery.?Over the battery, in the upper right corner of the rear wall, I
noticed a clear (now yellowed) PVC tube of a small diameter. It came through
a very small rubber gasket and seemed like it should be (but wasn't)
connected to the little goose neck on the SU fuel pump on the other side of
the wall.?Can anyone confirm that this is the case? If not, where is it
supposed to go.?

Jim;
I think that tube is supposed to be connected to the fume vent "harness"
for the battery.
That is how that clear hose is connected on my Tiger.

My car had that small diameter tube coming out of the back trunk wall but
wasn?t connected to anything?
The battery vent hose is bigger and exits through the grommet on the trunk
floor as in this pic
