mossy Posted November 16, 2007 Report Posted November 16, 2007 Got one extra pipe left in the engine bay, looks like a fuel pipe...on the right hand side, and the tank and fuel line is on the left? it had an essex in before hand, dunno if they have duel fuel intakes?
Mr Sam Posted November 16, 2007 Report Posted November 16, 2007 looks like fuel to me with the tube then rubber hose, take the nut out and hold a match over it no dont
Jimbob-Squarepants © Posted November 16, 2007 Report Posted November 16, 2007 It could possibly be a fuel return that goes back to the tank
Mr Sam Posted November 16, 2007 Report Posted November 16, 2007 what he said infact thats something i need todo with the carb ill be usin
Jimbob-Squarepants © Posted November 16, 2007 Report Posted November 16, 2007 Just reading my original post and realised I never put across my reason for thinking that maybe a return. On some Weber carbs, they had not just a fuel supply, but also a fuel return. Your question/problem is normally round the other way... "I have fitted my new carb, but it looks like it needs an extra pipe!" If you know what I mean Do you know what engine you will be fitting??? If you find out what carb you will be using before you take the pipe out, the chances are, the new carb you may use may have the return on it, hence... a home for your pipe
mossy Posted November 16, 2007 Author Report Posted November 16, 2007 its the 1300 in the pic that i will be using...far as i know thats got the standard carb on it. may be upgrading to a 1700 xflow soon.... What shall i do with the pipe if its not needed?
Mr Sam Posted November 16, 2007 Report Posted November 16, 2007 leave the bung in it and cable tie it somewhere out the way high as possible if your going 1700 you'll be wantin a 32/36 or a 38 i believe both have fuel return bittys on them
mossy Posted November 16, 2007 Author Report Posted November 16, 2007 cheers...ive PM'd retro about it too see if he can clarify what it was for! just to double check!
Retromotorsport Posted November 17, 2007 Report Posted November 17, 2007 Dont tell me the remote servo isnt under the passenger dash no more either ... thats where that pipe goes too ..
Retromotorsport Posted November 17, 2007 Report Posted November 17, 2007 It will be the return. No.. honest its the pipe to the servo .. really it is

Retromotorsport Posted November 17, 2007 Report Posted November 17, 2007 Got me thinking now and thats 2 early. Its not fuel ... really its not .. its the servo pipe .. The 3.0L V6 Essex engined estates all came with a remote servo , atlas axles with a 3.09:1 C.W.P , anti-tramps and 2.8i legs with the vented discs and M16 calipers Honest ..they did
mossy Posted November 19, 2007 Author Report Posted November 19, 2007 yeah the servo is up under the dash in the passenger footwell... Its meant to connect to that! Hmmm i shall have to have a lookies! Cheers....at least i know where it goes now!
Retromotorsport Posted November 19, 2007 Report Posted November 19, 2007 Lara popped in the morning before going home.. and we was wondering if you knew what happened to the v6 and box that came out of the estate as she wants to 6 the capri
