This rule governs the tubes and pipes that allow air to escape from the engine's breather system. These ducts must be properly designed and routed to a specific outlet point defined elsewhere in the regulations, ensuring consistent and safe venting of engine gases.
- Breather ducting connects the Power Unit to a designated exhaust orifice
- All ducting must comply with structural and routing specifications
- Proper venting prevents pressure buildup in the engine
- Ducting design is part of overall Power Unit homologation
