2001 XKR convertible. In the trunk trying to find a rattle and I discovered two black hoses one on each side of the fuel tank that appear to pass down thru a crossmember. they are about 15 inches long and extend up but are not connected to anything. Any hints please???

 

Can you take a pic?

 

Pic is from left side facing into the trunk.
little fuzzy but its the black hose on the left of the yellow one with the black grommet. goes behind the braided hose

 

Top of head guess is they are drains or sorts if they are not connected to anything below, or better yet they are the emissions vapor hoses going to the carbon canisters below tank in front of rear wheels there are 2

 

I believe they are water drains. I remember attaching them on my '97.

 

where do you attach them I cant seem to find the spot
Thanx Paul

 

did you have a peek at the pic

 

They attach just behind the top of the panel. You can't see it.

 

Appreciate your help

 

yes, but i am on travel and will look at my car when I get back. But they don't jog my memory at all

 

found the attachments for the hoses.
Brits call them scuppers. to bad they didn't attach them at the factory. Only 17K miles on the clock. Got it third owner all the records last year. Always wintered. Phoenix with oatmeal and tan top
front ones were not connected either. Poor Quality Control and inspection.
I've found a few things as I detail and prep the car.
AGAIN my thanks
Paul

 

I think the hoses are water drain hoses from the roof.
