I assume it is a pressure release of some sort for the feul tank, It was on the sending unit outside the tank just hanging there.I broke a piece off of it and just wanted to put a new one on.

Thanks , would Advance Auto carry this? Or do I need to order elsewhere

Edit: I see that GM discontinued it , So I guess this one will have to do... seems like it still works. I blew through it and works so..... yea

Let us know if you find a source for these. They seem to be discontinued everywhere; I don't have one at all
