+2 petrol breather
Posted: Wed Sep 28, 2005 12:13 pm
Hi,
There was an article a few months ago in "club lotus news" about an
improvement to the +2 fuel tank breather design to reduce petrol smell and
evaporation.
Basically the design entailed shortening and linking the two large pipes
directly above the tank to another large bore pipe which connects to the
filler. From this junction a forth small bore pipe is taken over the roof as
per one of the original pipes.
The theory was that the system would vent thro the filler when filling but
when the (non venting) filler cap was closed it would vent thro' the small
bore pipe with consequently less evaporation.
Has anyone tried this? As I have my headlining out at the moment I thought I
might give it a go.
