It returns into the filler pipe,
What if i just blanked off this pipe? what part of the tank does this fuel come from? why has it got this pipe?
The reason im asking is because im going 2 relocate the filler cap and pipe, so im wondering if i can just put a pipe from the filler cap, into the tank, without this pipe!
Bit confusing, but any info much appreciated!
Cheers!
Locky!

if you block if off it will take about 2 weeks to put a fiver in. yes it is a vent/breather pipe and without it or even with a kink in it the petrol filler pipe will keep air locking when you fill. I blanked it off to see what would happen when i had to extend the filler pipe for the wide arch kit and had to put it back in.

Your belly button is there becuase it what your umbilical (spelling?) cord is attached to when you are in the womb.

It passes nutrictional stuff down it so you can live for 9 months without eating or drinking.
