Unhappy Tank help

Hi all, I need some help with my 2001 Tiger.
I've just fitted a Scottoiler and found that I have a spare small black pipe left over! Durrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Would any of you have a diagram or schematic of the petrol tank, or connections to the petrol tank? The Haynes book of jokes does not show a Tiger's tank. Before I take it all apart again, I'd like to know what connections there are to the tank or airbox housing.The bike runs fine and I'm thinking it might be an over flow pipe etc.

Thanks
MOG

the tank has 2 small bore pipes on the LHS to drain the filler cap and vent the tank.

the vent line has a rollover valve

I think the vent is closest to the bike but check by poring some water over the closed filler cap.

the 2001 has a small bore pipe from the RHS of the airbox to the pressure regulator on the tank. this is missed on later bikes

large bore pipe for breather on the LHS of airbox

the other pipes are fuel and have the push on connectors

Robbie,
Thanks ever so much for the info, I'll go down the garage now and see what's what. Although by the sounds of it I think its going to be the vent pipe for the tank.

Thanks again for your help.
