[Healeys] Inlet Manifold Fuel Drain Pipes

[m.g.sharp at sympatico.ca]

Hi Harold,  I don’t think they should be draining anything on a regular basis.  I have never had anything come out of the pipes on my BT7, and I assumed they were there only to drain the inlet gallery if excessive fuel accumulated there.  Under normal operation, I did not think anything should come out, but others may have a different experience.

Though I have owned an Austin-Healey for 7+ years it has only been on the road this year and I am still learning what is normal operation. When I park the car after a reasonably long drive a few drops of unidentified hydrocarbon liquid end up on the garage floor under the inlet manifold fuel drain pipes. Is this normal operation?

 

It stands to reason there wouldn't be drain pipes unless there was a need to drain something!
