Diesel tank vent..... where should it go?

[ramdough]

So, I pulled the spare tire down and noticed a hose just hanging out there. I traced it back to the diesel tank. Guessing it is the vent.

Where should the free I go?

Is there a breather plug or filter supposed to be in the hose end?

Should it be tied up somewhere?

It literally was bent 180 degrees and tied to the hydraulic hoses under the spare tire.

Thanks in advance!

Bent 180 and zip-tied to the hydraulic lines is typical. Some may have a little vent cap thingy in them, but I believe mine is as you describe...

Thanks for the answer. I think I will find a fuel vent cap or use a small online filter. Having it wide open just feels wrong to me.

If you are worried about debris, there are all sorts of tiny K&N breather filters on Amazon for $10.

I thought same. Maybe sintered brass filter??? Hose barb to NPT fitting to filter would work.
