Have never seen that before. My guess would be breather or diesel/fuel injection return
There are so many people out there who will tell you that you can't. What you've got to do is turn around and say "watch me"

Isn't it where the flux capacitor for the hyper drive connects in  ???

Worth at least 1 fith of the speed of dark matter displacement when the beddy hits 88 mph...........so it will never work.....the beddy would be pushing it to do 70 :)
I used to be vague..................Now I'm not so sure

Its just a breather to allow all the air to escape the tank when filling up. The hose on the top goes up to the filler housing on the side of your van.

Just checking

one next to  sender unit is fuel pickup
one other side of tower is breather that goes to side of van
and one on top of tower is same??

that said, I can block off the one on top of tower as I don't need two??

The following was how mine was setup:

The one next to  sender unit was fuel pickup.
The one other side of the tower was the return from the engine.
And the one on top of tower goes to the filler on the side of the van.
