From POV of my 1972 Bavaria, Plastic tube runs from gas tank filler neck, to a plastic reservoir in the trunk and then out to a charcoal scrubber near/below the battery tray and then from the scrubber to that nipple. I guess a poor man's EGR set up. Supposedly to burn the fumes. The entire setup is a PIA and the tube usually splits along its course somewhere and the casue for your interior smelling of gas. On my Euro E9 , filler neck vents to a tube that goes out the trunk below the bumper.
Thanks! Since I’ve removed the charcoal scrubber and vented the filler neck through the trunk I won’t need to use the nipple.
Don't suppose you kept the charcoal canister and pipes did you? Would be interested in a retro of this on my car
I did keep the canister but I want to hold on to it.
that nipple is connected to a rubber or plastic hose
the hose goes to a T shaped tube, the two ends that depart from that T shaped tube go to the carbs,
in the middle section of the carbs there is a yellow metal tube that holds vacuum
when you make the synchro of carbs you should connect to an special device that will help you avoid the 100rpms difference
i do not have egr thing,
but i question your answer
so you do not have that connected to the carbs ?
Dash pot is mechanically connected. My Bavaria is in storage but here is an image of a 2002, different set up but note the connection. U.S. only
Errrr, how aboout poor man’s “fuel tank vapor recover system. “
