Manifold Drain-Intake

["Gale Hess" <ghess4@cox.net>]

Hello to you all who have so graciously helped me on several questions in the
past.

My BJ8 has a rear intake manifold drain which has had the tube removed by
previous owner due to interference with an exhaust header pipe.  The fitting
is still open and I think that it represents a fire hazard since it drops raw
fuel on to the hot header pipe.  Do any of you have experience with operation
after blocking the Drain pipe or pipes?
I will appreciate your comments.
