I am in need of some help. I have just removed my gas tank and discovered that I need a new piece for it. There are three "holes" in the tank. The first is on the lower side and this one holds the sending unit. The second is on the top all the way at the back and this is where the filler tube goes in. The third, and the one I'm interested in, is located on the top (about the center of the tank) and it holds a part that looks like it might be a breather of some sort that has a rubber hose attached to it. The metal part that attaches to the tank is perfectly fine, but the mesh INSIDE this piece fell apart the second I touched it (go figure for a 33 year old part!). I am wanting to either replace the whole part or put something in there that will work. Seems like this is nothing more than a filter or something, and it reminds me of what I've seen inside oil breathers. It's only about half the size of a golf ball, so it isn't all that big. Anybody have ANY idea on what I can/should do for this? I need some help soon since my new tank will be here in a day or so and I would like to do everything while it's out, rather than having to drop in again to install a new part. Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated!

Only thing I can think of would be a Vapor return line {I am just guessing}
