That probably applied to the bit of fuel pipe and two hose clips that joined the 2 halves of the front to rear before I replaced it then!!
gone through 3 MOTs like that and I had always assumed that was the fuel line - only realised when I tried to fit an extra fuel filter in the joint  ;D


Sorry, you mean someone connected two brake pipes together with a bit of fuel pipe and two hose clips.  ??)

That is criminally dangerous!

Yes - thats exactly it - The joint was on the chassis rail at the rear next to where the fuel pipe comes down from the tank and the 2 pipes run next to one another to the front of the car - hence the reason I had assumed it was the fuel pipe that was joined.
Suprised it worked for so long - looks like it had been done a long time ago as well.
