When I took apart my 2000 r1100rt fuel filter assembly from the tank I mistakenly thought that one of the two "vent" lines inside the tank had a stripe on the hose and the other did not (which I was going to use for reassembly).
Turns out they both had stripes but I had seen in a youtube vid that that they were both vent lines and did not matter in terms of which was which.
I've since read that actually one is a vent line and the other is a fuel overflow line and esp with the charcoal cannister it matters which is which.
Here's my question: Since I already have the plate and tank back together and I really don't want to take it off unless I have to,
is there a way to tell which line is connected to which using the outside ends of the hoses?
When I blow through the end of the hose that dumps to the ground (i e not the line to the cannister) it comes out at the gas tank fill overflow hole. Thats seems correct to me. ?
