not sure if this is what you guys were after. the breathers appear to be soldered into a cast peice which is then brazed / bonded onto the top of the tank.

Hi Richard
I think that might have been me. I was looking for some pictures of the brass fittings on the eng of the vent lines.

Richard, Jordan
That's great, just the job. I'm having the bottom drain re cast with makers name and part number when I do the pintles so it would be a good opportunity to do the vent ones at the same time? The more that are interested the more economical it becomes. Cheers Ben

I thought the earlier carriers had vented tanks and later ones used the pressured system? if i remember correctly FUC 03 has two diagrams, MK1 vented, MK2 pressured. not sure if it's as simple as that and it's not in front of me so i can't be 100% sure i'm even correct. Ben
