Fuel overflow pipes

[simon hubbard]

I wonder if you could let me know where the green fuel overflow pipe that comes from the float chamber nearest the bulkhead goes to (left side as it is uk car). It has a clip to attach it somewhere but was not held on anywhere.

Thank you

Hi Simon,

On my '7 the pipe is attatched to the coil mounting bracket on the bulkhead.
Hope this helps
Greg.

Many thanks, I thought that might be the case but then i thought a fuel overflow pipe attaching to an electrical item, surely not! On the other hand...................!!

I had to order a new set of HT leads and there was a difference in older and newer models, i believe it is the positioning of the ignition coil, as i found out from the reply the tube on mine attaches to the coil bracket. I looked at your pictures and the badge suggests it is a newer model so maybe that is why you have it leading into the frame, either way it doesnt seem very good.
