Hi
I have a Uk/European 1972 bus, therefore no charcoal cannister on the fuel vent line system. Where do the two vent lines go to on the engine?? Into the Air filter? Ive only seen pics of US set ups.
Thanks in advance!
Tony

The vapor lines Tee together and connect to the nipple on the aircleaner using a stepped fitting (aircleaner shaped differently, but same vapor lines as below).

It's called a Tee, you'll find it at your FLAPS on the rack with all the vacuum and pipe fittings, bring a bit of hose with you to find a suitable size.
