Mystery Pipe
« on: May 01, 2006, 22:07:11 »
After removing the mud shield (fitted some arch flares) on the off side rear, I've noticed an 8mm hard black pipe which has a pre-formed bend at the end and is clipped to the fuel filler pipe. It then dissappears over the top of the tank on my 300Tdi.

I know its not an axle breather as I've replaced these with raised ones and I also know its not the tank breather as there is a seperate pipe for this.

As I'm only curios and dont wish to remove the tank to follow the pipe anyone know what this is for as I've invested a bit of money in raised breathers, snorkel etc and will be pi**ed off if I bust something when wading!

Have you got an inspection cover on the floor of the motor to access the sender, if so pop it and have a jiggle on the pipe to see if you can trace it,

It may be an air bleed for filling the tank to equal pressure

Not every problem can be solved with duct tape, and it's exactly for those situations we have WD 40
