Blocked pipe
 

Hi, i have a blocked vent pipe, i have tryed everthing to clear but no joy, any one had this problem, any ideas of how to clear, i was thinking of drilling a 5m hole under filler surround to vent, is this ok will it work,
thanks in advance

Never ran into this on mine yet, but would like to know what makes you think you have a blocked vent? Does your fuel tank have a vacuum on it after running the engine?

gets worse as you get older, too.

:laughing2:

I don't know about that. I'm in my mid fifties. All the vents, pipes etc. still work A-OK. True, it's gotten more difficult to find 18-29 year old function testers, but when I do I pass with flying colors.:shock:

18-29?:spank:

Well Duh! Under 18 can get you in trouble!

sorry Evil-Kev, looks like you've been :threadjack:

I'm w/ RK1, lol!

Okay, then shouldn't we rename this thread "Dirty Ole Farts":rolleyes:...LOL!

Yeah, I figured you would be!

Yeah well, when you start a thread with "Hi, I have a blocked vent pipe", you're asking for it!

I thought y'all'd like her... :-)

Yeah. Send her over. I think I might have a blocked vent pipe!

Anyone gonna admit to having a leaky hose?

I'm gonna need to see some I.D. :mrgreen:

I blame pigwings at post #3, he started it.

another shining example of what really makes me love this site. now if you could just post a how too.:D RK1

Ok, lets blame pigwings...;)


:kneelking:PigWings for president... :crackup:

Pigwings it is then...

So, um - is anybody gonna help this guy out?? :bump:

I don't know how to help. I looked in the service manual. Shows the breather tube and drain tube at the bottom. I know there's a tube goes up to the filler neck. Which one is that? And where does the other one go? The manual doesn't show any tank internals at all.

Hey Kev, now that everybody's done goofin' if you want to try again say what the symptoms are, why you think it's the breather, what you've tried etc. and give us a bit more info.

Wait, what?

I have a slightly scratched-up tank you could have but you gotta come to California to pick it up. Sorry.

no word from evil kev. Must be got his pipe cleaned?:winner:

Or He's out cruising for 18-29 year olds...

I think we upset him, he's been dealing with I think is PVLIR for a while now. Or his other hoses are hooked up wrong maybe.
