What's this pipe?

I've been looking at the engine today trying to familiarise myself with what everything is. I noticed this pipe was not attached. I attached it to where I thought it came from, but please can somebody tell me what it does, just so I know? Thanks.

 

Where's the other end of the pipe?
Tell us about your engine.

 

a wider shot would help but i haven't got one like that so i'm intreigued.

 

Looks like a bit of 15mm water pipe to me

 

It goes to a black canister looking item within the engine bay. Usually on the fire wall on a bus with AFC F.I. or on the roof of the engine bay or over to the N/S. The canister usually have the fuel tank breather attached. It was all part of the US emissions stuff.

 

birdy maybe right - i ragged all that crap straight out of mine along with the egr nonsense and the cat.

 

Here is a wider shot if it helps - you can see the pipe on the left hand side

 

Is it the balance pipe of the carbs?

 

Wot para said

 

What Birdy says, Its all part of the EGR crap, i've got nothing on either of my buses just left that port open, It only blows a bit of air out of it

 

Yep EGR gubbins, mines still all attached.

 

OK, thanks everyone. Sounds like it's for EGR gubbins then. I'm presuming it won't do any harm if it come loose again?

 

Nah, but if your keeping the egr you want it all as it should be, if you see what i mean.

I would say have a check around your carbs for fuel thoughg as both mine were running original solex's and were weeing out fuel. but i may have just been unlucky.
