Hi guys, does anyone know what the little feed pipe does where the pump bolts to the block?

I'm fitting a peugeot 405 hdi pump but this only has the main feed pipe, so i need to know what the other one does

thanks in advance guys

post a picture, it may help.

Never worked on one before...but someone posted a photo of a BMW V8 in their conversion, and the pump was inside the sump.

Yeah bit of investigation found my username:)

Yup its in the sump.....unfortunatly its only going to be someone who knows a bm engine who's gonna be able to answer this, so pics ain't really gonna help.....though ill post pics up off my £15 rear sump m60 set up when I'm done

I was thinking oil pressure switch, but that's on the oil filter

As in hydraulic tensioner feed or just jet lubrication?
