I'm having a project nightmare! I don't know what these 3 are:


Or these 2 (ignore the big black pipe behind, this wouldn't normally be there).


can anyone identify they and tell me what they connect to?

Cheers

The top three are your fuel lines. To ID them, you need to trace your fuel hard pipes attached to the underside of the manifold. Assuming your hard pipes and your rails are standard, you will find the regulator on the rear end of the opposite side's rail - #3 cylinder position. The outlet of this reg you can trace back along the hard pipes to one of the mystery fuel hoses. It is the fuel return pipe and IIRC is ever so slightly the largest of the three.

One of the three hoses will be smaller than the other three and again will go into a hard pipe under the manifold then come out to a barbed outlet at the opposite side - this is to connect to your carbon canister and collects/vents petrol fumes.

The other pipe is fuel delivery which attaches to the outlet of your fuel filter. You can ID it because it will be connected to a hard pipe that goes directly into the end of a fuel rail that is just below the three pipes.
