steel "vent" tube?

[woodsnake]

There is an "unidentified" steel tube, that is on the firewall, that looks like it goes back to the fuel tank. Why? There is no fuel return line on a carbureted car...Or is it a vent? IDK, either what it is, or what it does. Do I need to be concerned with it? I finally got new belts on the engine, and have the complete diagram and wiring for the Ford Duraspark ignition conversion. Should be a good running car!

If the tube is in the center coming up over top of trans it is the fuel tank vent line. Connects to tank and charcoal cannister

It is OK if it isn't connected just don't plug it.

You will probably have a strong smell of gas in an enclosed area. I removed the charcoal canister and stunk up the garage.

The carbon canister is designed to collect gas tank vapor and store it until the engine starts, they are then sucked into the air cleaner and burned off through the carb.
