broken breather hose
Hi,

found this broken hose when I had a look under the Puma. Could anyone tell me what hose it is ( I suspect it is the breather hose for the fuel tank), and what consequences this might have. I'd like to know what it is before I call the dealer.

If it is the breather for the fuel tank, what has to be done. Does the entire fuel system have to be cleaned?

Cheers,
Johan H

You are right. Depending on the road conditions/types you could need to clean up to the filter I would say. Puma 110" SW

Have you had a look where they relocated it to?

I had my tank cleaned a few days ago but I stupidly forgot to ask whether they changed the contaminated breather and ascosiated hose.
I should have insited. Makes sence that when the breather is working it will suck remaining filth back into the tank all be it much less than when the breather was in the wheel arch. Puma 110 - gone
Series III 1973 - going strong
