Fuel filler drain hose
« on: 19 December 2016, 17:29 »
When washing the car, I noticed that the water that gets behind the fuel filler flap wasn't draining away, so gave the drain hole a blast with the pressure washer. This morning I found a piece of pipe on the ground from where the Golf had been. I'm guessing it's the drain pipe.

Does anyone know where it should run, or have a picture from ETKA which shows where it goes?

I cannot get photobucket or flickr to upload any photos at the moment  :angry:
I have a couple of photos of it when I waxoiled the inner arches.

It simply is connect to the bottom of the filler and lies on top of the wheel arch trim and exits at the back mine did not seam held anywhere except on the filler and dropped down when I removed the arch.



EDIT.
Ignore were its tucked in at the back in the photo it just hangs down on top of the carpet wheel arch (or mine did at least). I just got sick of it hitting me while waxoiling so tucked it in out the way :grin:
