Tank Vent in a Spilt - EJ20 NA

EJ20 NA

I've notice that the vent from my tank is dripping a small amount of fuel onto the ground when I park up. I don't run the tank full so could this be a result of fuel vapour condensation in the tube?

I have a Bay tank fitted in my split and have the tank vented via some tubing to behind the rear wheel, the tube is routed is downwards from the top of the tank due to height restrictions in the engine bay.

Is this the correct way of doing it?

the vent tube should go up from the tank and then loop back down..

Here's an image of how the venting and tubing of a Bay works. The vent tubes eventually go to the airfilter.

The tubes that go up bend behind the 'ears' of a bay, where fuel vapour condenses again.

Thanks

Ah yes the red one! I think the skin on my hand has just recovered from the one I replaced on a friends bus in March!
