'Nother Quick tank Q - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'm going to get a new gas tank and have a question(s). My tank is an EEC tank, and I can find those easy enough, but, mine also has a couple of lines comming off the passenger side top of the tank. I don't see fittings for those lines on the pictures of the tanks at LMC,GMCpauls etc.... These lines come off the tank and then dissappear upward behind the area where the shoulder seatbelts would attach. I only got a glimpse of these lines so I think that's where the dissappear to.
What are these lines for?

I know for sure one is just the vent, I can't remember if it goes up and then comes back down, but I think it does. I pulled mine out last year when I removed my tank.

It is a loop of hose. Strange looking hose that goes inside the passenger b pillar. I also assume it is a vent line or something. It is listed as a vapor line in the lmc catalog. It has a good drawing of it in the fuel line section of the catalog. Part #: 32-3643. Hope this helps.

Thanks,
Anyone know how (where) these vapor lines attach? Do they attach to the gas tank with a hose or are they part of the EEC somehow?
