   thread revival (whilst searching for something else).
   
   Answer to your question is if you look at your photo, you can see the whiteinlet and outlet barbs (current have the fuel pipe around them) have arrows on them - the one on the right in your photo is the easiest to spot. That is your outlet from the fuel tank. The other pipe (with the other arrow) is the return.
   
   Hope that helps others looking for the same question.

   neither of them is a tank breather --just feed and return .
   the breather goes to a white plastic unit underneath ,which has a partial pressure device in it ,so if you get a vacmn it will let air in and if over pressure it lets pressure out
   what hav3 you doen with the carbo ncan under front wing and its piping?

   Don't think he thought they were breather(s) John. Just didn't know which was which for fuel out and return.
   
   I've just had to order a replacement breather valve thing myself actually as mine was blocked causing all sorts of problems!
