    Default Vk V8 fuel lines

    I am wondering about piping up my VK V8 fuel tank to the engine. I know what pipe goes to the pump. There is a thin pipe and a thicker pipe left over what one goes to the charcoal canister and then where does the other go? i will be thankful for any help.

    One of them is the brake line which runs under the car. Other then that I rekon it's only the fuel line and line for the charcoal canister.

    the thin line is your vapor line which goes to a little filter thingie just before the quadrajet. looks like this;

    (this pic doesnt have the fitting for vapor though, it is a little hose at the top of the cylinder thingie bit)it runs from the carby BACK to the tank and helps it breathe.

    it took me a month of googling to find out what that line did. the other one is evaporative loss. i.e. when your fuel tank gets hot and the gasses inside expand, then the pressure goes down that line and into the charcoal can, the charcoal can basically changes flammable gas to water.
