Default Re: Is any of this from a Capri???

the small opening underneath the fuel cap??
...... is a drain for overflow, goes from dish of filler cap (outside, under flap) to a hole in the inner skirt just behind the wheel arch. Very rarely 'activated'. Supposed to stop the embarrassing stains down the side of the car. Not connected to fuel tank in any way.

In the pic above, the downward hose from the metal loop (item 7) , IIRC just vents outside thru the floor (but i'd have to go and have a look). ..... At grommet 0706348 under 44725-S washer. Hope this makes sense.

p.s. any more random bits for identification?

Ok so before I start installing tubes, can I check if these are the correct places to route them?

A: Opening in the rear inside fender for the fuel overflow tube
B: Opening for the fuel tank vent (just near where the fuel supply hose comes through). This one I am not sure of because the hole looks small.

A:


B:
