I'd guess, more likely, it is a route for fill-up spills to make it to the ground without running over the paint.dishdude said:Or the charcoal canister under the hood. It prevents fuel vapor from being released into the atmosphere.
Still doesn't answer the question of where the overflow goes..TerrainSLT2 said:That's a "BACKSPLASH OVERFLOW" so that it will not overflow. If you notice in your lavatory there’s a hole at the side of ceramic under your faucet, there in your bathroom that's a backsplash overflow also, & same thing if you have swimming pool in your house, there’s a backsplash overflow at the side of it.
I interpret you as saying that the gas makes it back into the filler-neck. after entering the hole. I sure hope that isn't the case. "My hole has dirt around it" ( ;D ;D) and that would deposit dirt into the gas tank.TerrainSLT2 =topic=1618.msg19213#msg19213 date=1287412022 said:That's a "BACKSPLASH OVERFLOW" so that it will not overflow.

Plus it would say that the fuel system is not a "closed system" - and I'm pretty sure it is. I still think that hole leads to the pavement below your car.

I guess we better inform GM that they have built a "dangerous vehicle", then. I just poured a cup of water down the drain hole, and "oddly enough", a cup of water ran down the rear inner fender, and onto the pavement. I doubt we'll ever spill enough gas down that hole to ever make a dangerous situation.TerrainSLT2 said:Hmmm...I don't think that it will lead that into pavement...it will be dangerous!
