Stray disconnected tubing mystery. Yikes?
Posted: Sun Mar 06, 2016 11:38 pm
Went to do an oil change today and stumbled across this little tube hanging down near my oil filter. I have no clue what it connects to and dont see anything obvious near the end that screams "I should have a tube connected to me!"
Im not having any performance issues. I did recently have a "crash" so to speak back in december when I hit a massive pothole and had to have my entire rear wheel assembly replaced. Could the shop have missed this tube upon re-assembly? Ive gone through 4 gallons of gas since then with no problem though....
I can handle an oil change but this is definitely above and beyond my level of expertise.
Here are some photos of the stray tube.....
Hanging down as I found it....

Pulled up and out of the hole its hanging through for better look at it....


Any ideas?
