Under tank hoses and black box thing...

[Cathcart]

Alright, basically, needing to know where the under tank hoses go (not fuel pipe) and what the small black box under the rear of tank/seat does and what that's meant to be plumbed to? Popped the hoses off the other day by accident and not sure where they now go.

Cheers.

You'll probably get most of this info you are looking for by browsing the Workshop Manual.
Not sure re the "black box" .... could do with a pic or a better description.

Thoughts include the tip-over switch .... the battery .....

I'll see what more info I can find... Or a pic... Cheers.

Looked at the manual, the 2 hoses from under tank (fuel overflow and water drain) go to the little black box at the rear of the tank/under seat. Not sure why there's a need for the little box. Manual didn't explain that...?
Three hoses on that black box are fuel overflow, water drain, overflow.

OK I think I know what you are talking about now.

As you've discovered, this is where a number of hoses from the tank make a connection.

Here's a link to a pic of where the filler drain hoses go (ignore the other hoses shown - they are the California market vapour recovery system)

I think they connect like they do so that when you raise and lower the tank, the lower sections of tube don't need to move - the only hoses that flex ate those between the tank and your little black box.

That's the thing!!!

So.... If they ain't connected to that box then it isn't the end of the world then... Although they ain't standard long enough to drop past the engine so fuel would get flung about the engine in the odd occasion. Cheers. Appreciated.
