One should be your breather hose, one should be the fuel line, and one should be the return line. But im probably wrong.

nah mate there are a heap of breather lines there, mine had the same problem only less to work with.
I suggest that you go to holden and get a pic of the breather lines printed out then order them all and go home and fit them.
My fuel economy improved after i done this on mine.

By memory. 1 and 2 connect to 4 and 5 to the top of the tank. Large hose on the top left should also go to the top of the tank. Im pretty sure 3 should go to six which is the metal charcoal canister line. I also think your missing the vapour separator????

No the vapour separator is there, just above the photo edge . . . what's it for anyway??

Thanks for your help guys, looks like I'll be dropping the tank to get to the hoses on top.. redo all the breather hoses. Or I might just leave it until I get a new car

You don't need to drop the tank all the way, just enough to get access to the top so you can fit new hoses. Don't take off the hard black pipe on the side of the tank as it is a real pain to get back on.

Yep you do really need to drop it, but not the whole way. Enough to get your hands and a screwdriver or pliers in above the tank there.

That left hand pic had everything I needed, and the tech article confirmed I was doing it right.

Thanks a heap mate you're a legend.
