One of the 3 lines is a breather, it exits to an open ended tube that sits in a hole in the left hand inner wing/chassis rail.

Don't worry about it you don't need another tank !.

What size is the fuel hose? 8mm? I found a tiny leak on the hose that connects to the rail. I went to Halfords today, and thay had all sizes except 8mm. :cry:
