hi all i need some quik information on a leak that i have which is coming from an unknown pipe. there is some sort of box that is attached to the fuel tank (near the top) where the fuel is eneterd from that has 4 outlets and 4 hoses coming from it. in my situation all the hoses have snapped (they all appear old) and there is fuel leaking out of one of them but because there is so many broken lines im not sure where they all go
any info would help there is nutting in the manual
First pic is the uknown box
Second pic. the hose my hand is touching is the leaking hose and it dissapera on thop of the fuel tank somwhere. the two hoses that are in the red box i belive are ment to attach together cause the breaks line up
Those snapped hoses are called breather hoses, its to let fumes out of the tank. You shoudnt be leaking from them hoses, does it only leak when you fill it to the top? Have a look at this thread and you can see where the hoses go.

The breather hoses and other parts of the fuel system age and break. You will probably find those pipes plus where they go (the other end) will have perished as well.
