Brake pipe ???

Post by paulw »

T25-1986-DG 1915 watercooled. Im getting a couple of corroded brake pipes replaced soon and noticed on the rear 4 way junction (front to back, left & right pipes) theres a small bore metal pipe going up from the junction and into the rear of the engine compartment somewhere. Not had a chance to have a good look yet but does anyone know what this pipe is? This pipe is a smaller diameter the the standard metal brake pipe.
Thanks

Thanks Billy but i dont think its a fuel pipe, its a very small bore, smaller than a standard metal brake pipe and most fuel supply pipes are usually slightly larger than brake pipes?
Will have a look at the weekend..

Had a look today and saw the fuel pipe attached to the 3 way splitter you mentioned billy. also realised on closer inspection that the 'pipe' i was looking at was in fact not a pipe but a thick wire holding in place what looks like a bulkhead sound proof panel !!!
