I think it connects the fuel tank breather to the air filter and to another valve in the tank for roll overs , normally found on the Argentinean spec  troopers.

Good extra  Cool

Argys and Brazilians got some good ideas for off road  stuff  hence they stilll make old school land cruisers with diff locks in brazil  - the reason all Volvo ADT's  have a filter on the fuel tank breather came from there so I was told.

If you driving in very dusty areas like they would have being hot n dry  the then if you drive lots of miles the chances that you fuel tank breaths in dusty air is is pretty high so put the fuel tank breather in with the air cleaner .

You can see how far they drive so the trucks have to be up to it .

I accidentally dislodged this whilst changing a corroded fuel pipe. Can anyone confirm that the short pipe (around 2 inches) is open to the atmosphere?
