'76 2.0 engine, there is a metal tube projecting out from the driver's side tin in front of #2 cylinder. It looks like an air outlet for some purpose. Does anyone know what it's for?

There are two hoses coming from the charcoal canister on top of the fuel tank.
They come down the drivers side outer long and up into the engine bay, drivers side near the firewall. From there they change to fiber wrapped hoses, one of which plugs into the fan to push air into the tank, the other connects to the air cleaner to suck in the vapors. |

I only have one big tube coming off my gas tank vapor canister, no other connection on it not being used. Could that be why there is no tube connected to the pipe on the engine bay tin?  |
