Missing pipe in engine bay ?

[tvrjohn]

Hi Folks
Cerb's running bit rough at present,overfueling i think
stinks of fumes etc.
Noticed a pipe sticking up vertically just behind the
purple inlet pipes @ the rear of the engine, has got Bosch on it !
Is it a fuel pressure regulator ?
Should it have a small bore pipe attached to it ?
Where does it go / come from ?

Thanks

hi john, is it a braided pipe, looks like a brake line? If so mine has one too goes nowhere can't really work out what its for other than it must couple up to something during maintainance....hope this sets your mind at rest

[tvrjohn]

not braided think that will be bleed for clutch

yep, there's a braided line comes up from the back of the engine for the clutch bleed.

Still not got an answer yet !
is it the fuel press regulator ?

Clutch bleed pipe.

tvrjohn - can you take a pic ? Will make it easier.....

Certainly if it's a braided hose, with a small nipple, then it's the bleed pipe for the hydraulics for the clutch.
