Title: fuel help
Post by: VWchapman17 on 28 June 2013, 22:42

i have a question.. on the drivers side there is some sort of fuel line.. when running smoke comes out the filter.. ive seen other mk2's and they dont have this, the hose goes down to the back of the engine block and its not got a jubilee clip to hold it on
 ive smelt the smoke and filter and it just smells like fuel.. so i dont get why it'd smoke out fuel? so it obviously doesnt go there

heres the pics

That's a breather which would have gone into original air filter setup.

is it normal for it to smoke and smell of fuel?
