91 diablo oil breather (confusion)

hi all
can anybody help shed some light on an issue with the oil breathing system on a 91 diablo?
on the parts manual it shows a long breather tank (001532642). my diablo has a round tank that is bolted to the rhs air filter box. it has 3 outlets only and i am trying to the plumbing. i cant find a picture of this version anywhere.

thanks

Matt - I have the same one.

What do you need to know?

thanks guys,
any idea why it is different?
i am trying to work out where the hoses go. when i purchased the car the engine was basically in a box and there were a lot of spares from later models (93-94). does this design still have the flame arrestor union as i seem to have 2 of these items?.
any chance you can draw a quick guide where to put the pipes?
thanks

hi all
here is the pic.
my system is a cylinder mounted to the passenger side air box. it has 2 outlets coming from the top and 1 coming from underneath.
i am pretty sure the small outlet on the top goes straight into the airbox. any ideas where the other 2 connect to?
si lambo, does this system also have the flame trap (001532768) and 3 way union?

all appreciated,

matt

OK, mine is the same. Hope this picture helps. I polished mine as you can see. One line goes in the airbox. The other two you can see on the left of the box.

thanks for the pic.
does the upper hose go to the higher or lower connection on the engine?
also, does this system have the flame trap (001532768). there is a pic of it on lambostuff.com?
be glad to get this thing together.
thanks

matt

Matt - Not sure and I'm not at home to check it. If you can wait, I'll be home on Sunday
