        The vent bolts to the tranny case on the forward face
of the housing that has the two ears on it... Should be slightly
to the drivers side of that. Mine then ran along to the driver
side fuel tank holder. I think it then got bundled in with the
fuel pump wires possibly... Anyway, it runs into the engine
compartment and pokes into the circular hole in the sheet
metal that separates the fuel tank and engine compartment
along the midline of the van (about halfway between driver
and passenger sides).

        There were two other tubes that went into this hole
one of which is the vent from the clutch housing and I
am not sure what the third one was... They happened to be
black plastic in my case. I had thought that they were part
of the wiring harness...
