Hi,

I wonder if any of you can help identify the pipe/ exhaust/ vent? present on the T-64 photo below



I've added it to my Skif T-64A build, but wonder if it should be open (as it seems to be in the various walk arounds on the web)

or capped (as I've seen a number of walk around vehicals with missing fuel caps etc, especially when they are stored outside in reach of the general public

Hi Anthony,

this is just a guess and maybe someone else can clarify things but I somehow think, that this is to connect the external fuel tank on the back with the internal tanks.

Regards,

Good afternoon.
It is an additional tank for oil.
This tank has a heating exhaust gases.
In a circle at you a photo of a final aperture.
Yours faithfully.

Hi All,

Thanks for all help.

I shall leave the exhaust open (which is good as I don't have to make a cap for it!)

I'll have a look at the german site and see what google translator can do with it (it seems to give the gist of the sites in russian tho some of the text remains obsure)

The photo is much apreciated as it also gives me a decent view of the canvas snorkle covers too so I'll have to go on and have a go at these too.
