    I'm having my tank redone.  I looked in the service manual and cannot find an answer to this question.   My tank has three inlets.
    1.   Big inlet where the gas pumps in from the gas pump ( where are you pumping gas in when getting gas at the gas station )
    2.  One small Inlet right next to the sending unit. This is the hard line that goes up to the fuel pump  

    3.  Lastly there is a third line a stem on the drivers side of the tank.  A rubber hose hooks on the stem and I'm not sure where that rubber hose goes. I was thinking that was the return line either from the carburetor or the fuel pump but since I was told we need a vented fuel cap I'm assuming that this van does not have a return line. Can anybody tell me what that third stem is for?


    Thanks

    The filler tube might have a smaller fitting on it so that as the gas goes down into the tank, it has to push air out back through another hose near the gas cap......

    Oh. I see. Thanks. Kind of new to these vans and not sure what the extra line was for. I need to follow it to its end point this weekend. Thanks!
