In the middle of fitting afuel line kit, all going well. Minor problem is that there is a small metal pipe under the two main metal fuel pipes which run across the plenum (shown in pic). What have others done with this?

This pic is in Smithy's trading area. Does it help?

thanks geoof, I had looked at that and wondered whether i needed another piece of hose, where that red hose is looks like the culprit

You lose that hard pipe with the ones above, you'll need a longer bit of silicone hose to replace it.

So does that mean that, the little piece of metal tubing doesn't actually go in to anything? it's just a short piece of metal piping to assist routing?

 

If that's the case, and you really wanted too, I would assume that it can be buzzed off if a separate piece of hosing was used? Is this true?

If I knew the names of the bits it'd help ... :D

 

Rubber air pipe goes from by the battery to the RHS of the metal piping, air flows through the metal across the back of the plenum and back into some more rubber hosing which connects to the fuel stuff.

 

The longer piece you need simply replaces the metal piping and the stock rubber hoses at each end of the metal.

 

Lots less cacky stock clips to leak ;)

 

So yeah Cos I guess the piping just assists routing in stock form, which you could bypass if you wanted (without the kit) but there wouldnt really be any point.

I was looking at it from a neatness point of view, if for example you wanted to chrome the balance bar, you could shot of that bit and also that extra little bracket that bolts on just to the left of that piping.

Yeah I suppose so, then you could have a longer bypass and tuck it away somewhere :)
