I know this isnt the thread for introductions, but I think its important for readers to understand what their getting themselves into !
I am the most dangerous animal that any motoring forum can have.
I know next to nothing about what goes on under any bonnet.
I have the mechanical aptitude of a Mongolian tree frog
I consider it a major achievement when I pump up the tyres without using my Haynes workshop manual, but worst of all .
I have a socket set and Im not afraid to use it!
No Ive got that out of the way, I feel I can ask my question.
The other day I noticed an oily patch on the road under where I park. Further investigation showed it to be diesel fuel. I lifted the bonnet and started the engine. The leak came from some cloth covered rubber pipe, 3 pieces, each about 5 inches long 2 of which were dripping fuel.
These pipes were just a push fit, and the piping itself was available from Halfords.
I purchased said pipe, and replaced all three pieces. When doing so I noticed what appeared to me to be another outlet with no pipe attached. This was at the cabin end of the engine. Not knowing what to do with it, I stuck the remaining bit of tubing I had on it, leaving the other end dangling about freely.
So, the question is, where if anywhere should I stick the other end of that tubing?
