That 'little rubber pipe' is the breather from the fuel lift pump, it usually bides in the rubber grommetted hole in the tinware just underneath the pump, I think you can just see the hole in your pic. Don't worry if it keeps coming out it wont do any harm.

Nice pic by the way.

Hey thanks but quite a bit has been deposited on my drive and it doesnt seem to be stopping!
It constantly drips(quite slowly tho) out of the breather pipe and onto the tinware plate.
Is there anyway of curing this?
the van did recently have a oil and filter change....could this be excess oil coming out of the system? it wasnt over filled though....
any ideas? :(
