Rover SD1 V8 Fuel Tank ventilation

Post by Pac J »

Hello,

Does anyone have plans for the fuel tank vent on a Rover SD1 V8 with a carburetor ?
I'd be interested to know how it's constructed and which parts are included.

Thanks and have a nice weekend,
Pascal

Hello John,

Thanks again.
I don't know how the system was designed. Does a vent go from the tank into a filter and then to the engine? Or does the SD1 only vent to the atmosphere?

Regards,
Pascal

I'm not familiar with the UK/EU based cars, but I'd say the vent is to atmosphere for that model's age.

Hello John,

Thank you. I also only have one hose on the car that goes from the tank to the outside, and I find that it smells very bad when the car is parked in the closed garage after driving. I don't have that problem with my other classic cars...
That's why I thought I could retrofit it somehow.

Best regards,
Pascal
