    I have been told they are for fuel overflow if overfilling the tank or when the vehicle is on an extreme angle. It is supposed to drain back into the tank.

    Hi
    Later Ser3 landies also have one(up high in the LH rear wheel well for those who havent discovered them).All to do with fuel expansion as previous posts and emission control devices,and yes normally a source of fuel smells/leaks.
