The vent hose for the fuel tank got pulled out and I can't figure out which way it was originally run.

I'm sure somebody on here knows for sure which way it goes. And I was hoping you would be able to point me in the right direction.

Tmall,
I was just in the airbox the other day and remember that the hose goes from the right side of the tank (where it connects to the overflow) across the top of the inner airbox to end on the left rear corner. From there it works it's way on the inside of the frame to a piece of tubing that vents it right in front of the left side of the swingarm.
If you don't have the inner airbox on any longer, the stock length is long enough to route any way you want and it still reaches the tubing at the back.
All of that assumes you have an XB. For a tuber, I'm lost.

Thanks a lot Smiley. I assumed it didn't really matter where it vented to. But, I'd hate to be that guy who just put it in any old spot and then find out it was supposed to be connected to something for one reason or another.

And I should have pointed out that it's on an 08 Firebolt.
