Broken hose under front right wheel well - what is it?
I had the car on a lift at my mechanics place to pull the side markers and we found this hose broken when we took off the wheel well liner. What is it? Thanks.
Yes, get the Stainless replacement from her. It's a fantastic, never do it again fix.
Btw, that's the hose that goes to the charcoal canister to absorb gas fumes. If it's broken, you'll get the wonderful smell of gasoline filling the local air.
The old famous plastic Y connector to the vapor cannister. These ALWAYS break. Nicole at www.Hookedoncars.com has a very elegant and permanent solution to this problem. Check her site or contact her about it. You are probably getting some nice gasoline fumes down there as well.
I've never noticed a gas smell in the car. Strange. Thanks for the info.
Mine was broken and I never smelt any gas odor in the car either. BTW, take the broken piece(s) to your local hardware store.... That was my solution, I think it cost all of 67 cents.
I know Nicole sells the Y fitting, but I don't seem to be able to locate it on her web site??
That's because I just sold my last one, and the online store software takes the listing off when inventory is depleated. I'll try to get more and post here when I have them again. I had not sold one of those in about 6 months, so I let it slide... sorry for that!
PM me, if you want one - then I have a better idea of how many we'll need.
Can anyone help with these hoses?
Diameters?
Are there PSI requirements?
the blue arrrow is an 8AN 1/2 inch diameter braided stainless steel high pressure hose for oil fuel.
Any help / guidance on any of the other hoses much appreciated as I'll need to replace them.
