Today i filled my 240z up with fuel for a dry sunny but cold day drive. The 1st time i have fully filled the car with fuel.
I noticed a smell of fuel but i had just filled up so thought nothing of it. When i parked up i noticed some liquid coming out of the front drivers side (its a uk spec car), sure enough it was fuel.
Now, i have 2 metal pipes coming from the tank, one obviously is the fuel supply that was nice and dry and secure and feeding the carbs, via a filter.
The other one was just open to atmosphere, and i noticed a rubber pipe had a bolt shoved into it to blank it off, this comes from the carbs.
I am assuming this blanked off rubber pipe should fit the open pipe, but why would someone do that? I have only had the car for a month or so, im not guilty of the strange mod.
I can guess its either a fuel return pipe or a breather pipe from the tank.
Anyway i have connected it up and it runs ok so its left me puzzled.
Anyone got any suggestions?
