Re: Coolant leak

Re: Fuel leak T connection

After some more research the extra fuel line seems to be for the BA6 heater. That also explains some other mystery wires and air pipes i've been wondering about. Don't have the on and off switch for the BA6 in the cabin, so that fuel line is just a waste right now.

This is important, while hoses probably need changing tanks often rust through and this looks like fuel is dripping down from above. Yes probably need to replace the tank. Is there something we can do in t...

Re: Fuel leak T connection

Thanks, this has been confusing us. We have been told it's a syncro from vw owners (and I think some papers). But all the specs and have always been 2wd. So though it had been converted but it's just other people that have been confusing us this hole time. It's bought in Sweden were it lives and it'...

Re: Fuel leak T connection

Sorry, first post. It was hard to take a good picture because of the sun. It's a 1989 Caravelle Syncro. But the tank dosen't look like the syncro tanks iv'e seen. The plan is to swap all lines. But this is the most urgent part and the connection confuses me since it's not matching any description in...

Fuel leak T connection

So I have a leak on the connection for the fuel tank. My concern is this T connection from the fuel tank. Haven't seen those on others? Any ideas? It's a T25 2.1 DJ watercooled.
