[QUOTE="Roberto, post: 708708, member: 8160"] Hi Alan, Sorry just saw this. 1. A question. If I can smell petrol right after a full fillup (right to the brim fillup), doesn't it mean that the breather hose is working? As in, there's alot of petrol, so there's alot of vapour, and so alot of vapour escapes the car, so you can smell that? 2. Where is the breather hose located on the E34 and how do I change it ? Is it an easy DIY ? 3. Instead of the breather hose leading out the outside of the car - can we feed a long thin hose from the breather to the engine, and stick it into the airbox or intake manifold or something - so that the fuel vapours are not 'wasted' ? The E34 did not come with a vapour recovery system - I think that came with the subsequent generation. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
