tpi for an early jaguar

[Diane Stowe]

Thanks, I was going to run a new metal line to the rear, the same size as
the return off the tpi. What size is that btw ? (I haven't had my tpi
delivered yet), and then to a return line switch in the trunk, then to the
appropriate tank in use via the port in the middle/top of the tank.

however as I ponder the increased fuel turbulence in the tank, I can see
where there would be more fumes created in each tank. I really would like to
have a proper vent line running to a charcoal canister, etc. like a real car
would.
in fact I think I'll run a new vent line too, I am sure my old metal vent
line underneath the car is totally and hopelessly plugged.

I have to find and rip out all of the totally junk and absurd jaguar vent
tubing in the trunk, it would give me great pleasure.

I do think that there is a smaller second vent line at the top, perhaps next
to the fuel fillers ?, (all of my tanks are in the car, and the manuals are
not much help with this). even though this is hard work, it's got to be
better than 3 fuel pumps and all of the other stock jaguar nonsense. I
cannot imagine fixing newer jags, I saw a few at a salvage yard half torn
apart, my '72 has 1/48 of the wiring.

if anyone has any other ideas please let me know.

thanks, Diane.
