TC33DA fuel fill overflow tube

[adlertom]

I don't remember the fuel fill overflow tube on my TC33DA dangling free and low like this. Is it supposed to be attached to something up higher somewhere?

The gasket surrounding the fuel cap is tearing at the overflow tube attachment point. I removed the tube on mine and live with it as is. I've never had a problem not having an intact overflow gasket with overflow tube. I am pretty careful adding fuel and I use a Mr. Funnel when filling my tank.

Looks like mine on my TC29DA, never sees diesel.

Sooner or later while driving through vegetation those tubes will "disappear".

Thank you for the replies. The gasket surrounding the fuel cap is intact. I'm just going to wire tie it to some suitable location(s) and perhaps cut a few inches off the bottom end of the tube.
