[Tigers] trunk plastic tube

                That is what the Parts List indicates.

I located what I believe was my original tube – it is 37” long.

It’s supposed to be 38 inches?

                I’m pretty sure that is the breather tube for the fuel pump.

Fuel system section UF

P.43555                Hose (38” long) pump to breather

918500                  Grommet 

 

The problem with it not connected is probably due to the heat in that area.

The tube can’t take the heat plus it is easy to knock off.

 

This may be the best picture I have back there.

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.?
