Barry,
Not to spoil your great record of advice but... The MKIV only has one
opening at the top of the tank for fuel to come out. So It can't be the
vent.
For a visual the VB catalog has a good illustration on page 99 (Fall 97
catalog). Any ideas?
Thanks,
Richard

What you are looking at is not the fuel line, but the vapor recovery tubing
that connect's to the carbon cannister. It was probably used because it
was cheaper and would last longer (mine is still good after 20 some years!
