Dutch term or phrase: opleiding
The sentence in question is:

"Blok de opleiding in en weer uit en spoel nogmaals de leadleidingen (dit als er vervuiling in de blokafsluiters zit)."

It's taken from a series of troubleshooting steps to figure out (and eventually correct) why there might be irregular readings from pressure/flow/level gauges.

"uppipe" is a possibility if looking at this literally, but none of these translations have anything to do with cars. You can already see from "leadleiding" that whoever wrote or translated this to Dutch wasn't exactly being faithful to the language.

Anyone ever heard of "opleiding" being used in this context?

Explanation:
'opleiding' = 'opgaande leiding' = 'riser pipe' / 'riser'

Sounds reasonable to me, unless there is a specific name for this pipe that I am unaware of
