axle breathers

<< < (6/6)

Disco Matt:
Just resurrecting this thread as I'm now considering how to extend the breathers on mine. Is the one on the injection pump a rubber thing on the back of it which looks not unlike a saucepan (with the "handle" being the rubber breather pipe)? Also, I assume the inverted U-shaped pipe with an open end I've found behind and slightly above the engine is either the gearbox or transfer box breather?

The front axle one was easy to find at least! Planning to do them in stages, don't do much wading but would rather sort them out before anything expensive gets damaged.

Be aware that "aquarium" hose is soft and will collapse when cable tied, also it  will not withstand a vacuum. Use nylon, its not expensive and will last (almost) for ever,

thermidorthelobster:
Aquarium hose can be silicone or washer-hose-style plastic (is it really nylon?);  either way it's cheaper than the motor factors.  Silicone won't withstand a vacuum, but the end of your breather won't be sealed, so surely it wouldn't make a difference?
