1954 70 gas tank breather tube

[Meangreen]

Can anyone tell me the significance of the humps in the gas tank breather tube. We found this chunk laying on top of the tank when we removed the hood and no it was not attached at all just laying there (for who knows how long). Reason I ask is were planning on making a new tube and are wondering if the humps are needed. Thanks in advance.

Limits fuel travel out the tube

I currently have the hood off my 70 gas, no bumps in mine, looks like a strait shot to me. Pretty sure mine is original due to the crustiness.

Actually that is a NOS Hinson Weather brake, I know everyone calls them Heat Housers. I do have a NOS Heat Houser that was made to fit the model G that I have on a 70 D. Thanks for noticing.

Great picture!

I've always wondered if those things actually worked to keep you warmer. Do they help?

Yes they do help keep you warm. The only thing I don't like is they limit your vision and the first thing I always want to do is stand up which totally defeats the purpose. I have better wind shields that are clear and that helps.

Good to know, thanks. Had a chance to buy one to fit on my snow-pusher but wasn't sure if they more of a gimmick. Maybe I'll see if he's still got it....
