was just about to leave and noticed there's a very small pipe coming off from my petrol tank that doesn't connect to anything!
Its a small black pipe with a hole about the size of a pinhead. Is it still safe to drive? I have never noticed this before!
NEED VERY QUICK ANSWER! petrol tank

If it doesn't exit through the boot floor then it is venting fuel vapour into your passenger cabin, this is very dangerous obviously.
