Reconnecting the fuel lines from the tank...

[jimbo]

Its been one of those weekends....

I'm putting the tank back onto my 1150 GS.

In the past I've always reconnected each of the fuel pipe to the same black pipe on the bike that it came off. Alas I obviously knocked off the tape that I used to match the pipes up.

Does it matter which pipe goes to which? If so how do I tell?

I never really got the hang of two fuel lines. If one was good enough for an SU carb on a mini....

It just will not go I think, when I renewed my quick connects I put them in opposite ways round, no confusion then.

as far as I am aware one is feed and the other is return... would assume if fitted the wrong way round no fuel to engine...

OK. I'll go try it then.

What the betting I'll get the 50:50 chance wrong first time. Must be a 90% chance surely...

On my 1150 you cant connect them the wrong way, they only connect the right way, yours may be different mind
