is there a fuel system breather ?
The Toyota Starlet GT Turbo (Glanza) EP82 and EP91 models have a fuel tank breather system that allows air to enter and exit the fuel tank to prevent a vacuum or pressure buildup. This system typically consists of a vented fuel cap, a vent line that runs from the fuel tank to the charcoal canister, and a check valve that prevents fuel vapors from escaping the charcoal canister and entering the atmosphere. The charcoal canister is a component of the car's evaporative emission control system, which is designed to capture and store fuel vapors that would otherwise be released into the atmosphere. The fuel tank breather system is important for maintaining proper fuel tank pressure and preventing fuel leakage, which can be a safety hazard.
What are the potential causes for fuel to be coming out of the breather hose
If fuel is coming out of the breather hose of the fuel tank in a Toyota Starlet GT Turbo (Glanza) EP82 or EP91, it could indicate a few potential problems. Here are some possible causes:

What are the potential causes for fuel to be coming out of the breather hose
If fuel is coming out of the breather hose of the fuel tank in a Toyota Starlet GT Turbo (Glanza) EP82 or EP91, it could indicate a few potential problems. Here are some possible causes:
- Overfilled fuel tank: If the fuel tank is overfilled, it can cause fuel to spill out of the breather hose when the car is in motion or when the fuel expands due to heat. To prevent this, it's important to fill the fuel tank only to the recommended level and not to "top off" the tank.
- Clogged or faulty vent line: If the vent line that runs from the fuel tank to the charcoal canister is clogged or blocked, it can prevent air from entering or exiting the fuel tank, causing pressure to build up and fuel to be forced out of the breather hose. The vent line should be checked for obstructions and replaced if necessary.
- Malfunctioning check valve: The check valve that prevents fuel vapors from escaping the charcoal canister and entering the atmosphere may become stuck or fail to function properly, allowing fuel to escape through the breather hose. The check valve should be inspected and replaced if necessary.
- Faulty fuel pressure regulator: If the fuel pressure regulator is faulty, it can cause excessive fuel pressure in the fuel system, leading to fuel being forced out of the breather hose. The fuel pressure regulator should be tested and replaced if necessary.
