Possible fuel pump

[Graham-P]

Does anyone recognise the hose laying across the brake master cylinder? Is it a fuel pump? Never seen a fuel set up like this!

 It’s a TR250 I’m trying to evaluate from pictures, not a good idea I know, but needs must. 
cheers

The valve is an anti run on valve which allows air into the inlet manifold to help prevent engine run on when keyed off.

The valve closes when the ignition is powered on.

As stated thats a dump valve as theyve obviously had running on problems, FWIW a coupe of observations of the car, panel fit is poor and wipers obviously park on the wrong side, so never been changed from US issue.

Thanks for the replies, didn’t realise it was a valve. I did notice that the drivers door was sticking out at the bottom and the bonnet gaps are uneven at the front.
