Hey Scott/Richard,
Thanks again. The last pipe/tube is the one from the base of the unit
assuming the switches were on the top, and it is labeled as being "High
Flow". I couldn't trace it forward of the gearbox/fuel tank, and the other
wires/lines had been tied all down the drivers side rail running the length
of the van. It may be that its already been "cut" and just worked its way to
its present location. If it was the disengage switch (return?) line then it
may just be sitting there like the cabling was...
Paul.
