Fuel leaves the tank through a filter, which is connected with a drain bolt. Air is admitted and released into the fuel tank through tubes and a filler neck in the fuel tank.
Fuel vapors are released through a vent tube into the atmosphere. The tube is secured with a simple cuff on the rear left side of the car on the rear suspension skid plate.
