That is the fuel pump for the FBH. If you are not going to use your FBH then remove the pump and terminate the fuel line. Tuck the electrical plug away.

Hi Julian.
Plug both ends that will do the job as they were originally before the pump was fitted.

And put a plastic bag over the electric plug tie it up out of the way.

only a day or two i said anyone with an FBH should check their pump bracket. checking the bracket will also allow people to check the pump.
the pump and bracket are prone to rust.
I am sure someone can add a link to cheap replacement pump, that can be obtained.

check B&Q for doing pipe connectors, I'm sure i got some from there some time ago. Halfords or Euro car parts could probably help

Yes two dead ends will ok, a piece of brake pipe pushed into both ends will do also
