Hello, trying to suss out where my leak off pipes from my injectors go on my 1.6 TD. They never had any on when I bought the engine. Tried searching and looking on oemepc but it doesn't show.
Just ordered some new pipe from brick weeks and a blank for the end. But I can't work out where the other end goes, would have thought it goes back into the fuel filter? But there's no bit for a hose to go to
Thank you

Re: Injector leak off pipe
Mine goes to a hard black plastic fuel line back to the tank through the bulkhead on the nearside straight behind the cylinder head. I presume that they should all be the same.

Fantastic, thank you for that
Might have to invest in a diesel tank then. Mine is an Aircooled petrol tank and probably doesn't have it
Thanks again

Re: Injector leak off pipe
And mine goes back to the filter in the engine bay, don't know what happens next. I do know my tank has two outlet spigots, one on each side of the lower rear edge of the tank. I'll take some photos tomorrow but looking at a google image search for VW JX might help you too.
Have you ever seen an unhappy fool?

Re: Injector leak off pipe
I doubt that he would have had one of those filters as it would have already been connected. I get the impression that the diesel engine has been put in to replace a petrol one hence the petrol fuel tank.
You haven't got 2 outlets - one is a return, the one on the nearside.

Re: Injector leak off pipe
Yeah my original engine is a 2l Aircooled so imagine my tank will only have one outlet?
I bought an SB engine from a Passat that I've just rebuild, came with the early style screw on diesel filter which only has two connections on, for the tank and fuel pump. So I imagine the leak off pipes should go to the tank. That's no problem, I'll have to invest in a proper diesel tank with the right outlets
Thanks guys
