If that hose is blocked, you can still fill the tank 90% of the way, and just as fast, but there is no way to fill the top 10% because there's no outlet for the air bubble trapped up there. The overflow hose, cures that problem. Actually, I guess you really COULD fill that last 10% without the overflow hose, because you still have the little vent lines. But the vent lines are so small and long that the last 10% might take you half an hour to do. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
