Unknown Fuel Tank Hose

Post by thrash »

Hi Everyone,

I took out my fuel tank yesterday, but I hadn't disconnected a host by the look of things, so it disconnected itself when the tank was lowered. Now I don't know what it does or where it goes. Any help would be much appreciated. The red arrows in the picutre indicate the line i'm talking about

I think (from memory when I pulled my one out) it connects to a hard line that goes to the Charcoal canister in the engine bay - for recycling fuel vapour back into the intake.

I thought you were worried about defects?

I have a shiny cusco catch can for the oil in place of the standard charcoal canister. Was going to paint it black, but haven't gotten around to it. It's plumbed back into the intake, so fuel vapour in the engine bay isn't an issue I would think?

I didn't put the standard charcoal canister back on because I didn't have a way to plumb in the oil return line at the time. might look into that now actually.
