i know the usual cause of this pipe popping out, but my TZD regulator doesn't tick hardly at all,
when the pipe is out and engine idling citro blood spits out of the stub of rubber pipe at the regulator, i think it spews out at a higher rate as the engine revs increase,
so i think its regulator related

Re: BX regulator popping its seepage return pipe out
It could well be an internal leak in the regulator causing the pressure to push it off, I have had this happen and fitted another secondhand regulator which cured it.

Re: BX regulator popping its seepage return pipe out
The seepage pipe will take an amazing flow of fluid without popping. I was amazed after removing mine for engine replacement to discover that the pipe was completely full. I then started the engine to discover that fluid was spurting out and travelling some 10 feet through the air.......
And no, the pipe did not pop off and there was no jubilee clip involved.
