Cleaning up the overflow hoses mess!!

[Raptor]

Use the metal air valves available from fish tank shops to tidy up the hoses.

Looks so much neater.

the metal air valves may not be properly seal at the joints where the on/off switch are..

the petrol will leak out..

is better to get those orange knot with black body as the valve..

cos there is rubber sealing in it..

can be bah .. this is used to control airflow, so it is more or less air sealed. only issue is now you are putting 4 into 1 ... will it be able to handle the flow ?

i think the overflow hose stated by raptor is for petrol overflow.. not air..

i hav use the metal valve b4 for my DIY chain oiler, but the air was manage to get in and oil leaking out of the edge of the turning switch..

if u dun believe, u try putting yr hand over the valve for airflow control purpose in aquarium application. u will still feel some air blowing yr hand.. especially the valve is turned off..

Ok, there are a few hoses coming out of every bike, some puke stuff, some suck air (back into the fuel tank). Some puke liquid and suck air depending on conditions (coolant overflow).

 

If a puke hose is combined with another puke hose, all is fine. But if a puke goes to a suck, nasty results follow. Since some puke and suck, it gets complicated.

 

It looks like alot of hoses there, more than the typical 3 on street bikes, I trust that you sorted out the functions before combining?
