Where The Hell Does This Go

After a long and unsuccessful rebuild and respray I found this poking out of the engine. Mechanic was shocking BTW.

 

 

Any ideas?

Overflow for the water expansion tank?

[gavbrum 18 1 Cars]

Could well be Ed. I'll check that later once it stops raining.

Agree with Ed. It should be dangling down at the back.

[gavbrum 18 1 Cars]

So it just hangs at the bottom of the engine? Unsecured?

[welshpug 1,678]

its secured at the top end

[gavbrum 18 1 Cars]

Ha! I meant that it apart from being secured at the top end it just flaps about?

[welshpug 1,678]

yup.

[gavbrum 18 1 Cars]

ok. sweet. cheers dude.

Old thread I know but turns out this runs along the bottom of the car parallel with the brake pipes and up to the fuel tank.

 

It must connect to the engine somehow.

 

Any new idea's.

 

Cheers,

ah, so its not connected to the expansion tank then, is yours a late motronic car? probably for the charcoal canister.

[gavbrum 18 1 Cars]
