Fuel vent pipe? Do you mean the bottom port on the Fuelab FPR? If so, that fits to the existing return line to the fuel tank.

If you by any chance mean the canister just bung off the return to the intake, and put the vent hose in the chassis.

Isn't that the fuel filter ?????
I have replaced with a fuelab filter.
It is the vent pipe which comes from the grey coloured pipe in the bulkhead which concerns me

can't see any pics due to work firewall but there are three fuel lines; out bound, return and vent. The vent line goes the charcoal canister which sits in front of the ABS unit on a classic, you can remove the canister and run a hose down to the chassis leg and fix it there to keep fuel smells out of the engine bay. I reused the OE non-return valve for additional peace of mind. hth.

Rear bumper !!
Gets more interesting, but I only need to know what to do with the vent pipe that is located next to the front passenger side strut.
Was connected to oem brass pipes under manifold but is now sitting all lonely as the pipes have been replaced by braided fuel lines.
Do I just extend it and tuck away into inner wing or locate this charcoal filter and connect vent to it ????????
