common guys, arent you gunna go outside and take pics of your car at midnight? i would.......... i guess i can wait

 

Sorry. I just had to do that.

 

Here is what I got this morning:

As they come up out of the rear of the engine bay:



As the come towards the front of the engine:



A top view. The large hose goes into the fuel-rail cover:



You can see one of the smaller ones making a U-Turn and going to this mysterious plastic jobbie:



The other smaller one goes through this (grey in this photo) rubber reducer, and comes out as a smaller line that also goes under the fuel-rail cover:


I'll see if I can get anything out of the ETK/TIX CDROM and post more later.

 

That "mysterious plastic jobbie" (which is another part ill need to buy now) is a fuel tank vent valve and i guess they cant let the fumes get into the atmosphere for enviromental reasons so they send it in with the air right after the throttle body and burn it off. Can anyone tell where the smaller hose ends up? that one still has me stumped...

Thanks Trippy for taking those pics, theyre a big help

 

The smaller hose is part#11 in the upper image. It goes right through the fuel-rail cover with a "T", and then down somewhere to the driver's side of the engine. I'll go look and see.

 

theres another hole in the intake manifold right past the throttle body, i bet thats where that goes..

 

Wooo how much did you buy the MINI off ebay for?
