hey guys im getting a really stong fuel smell at back of car everytime i fill up got underneath it the other day and found alot of the breather hoses on top of tank are stuffed. any one know where they are all meant to go? there is very little of any of the hoses left of mine and i cant tell which is which.

it has been posted on here before so if you search you will find it Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

search for it... I think Jet6 has a picture of what they should look like...

theres one here: http://www.calaisturbo.com.au/showthread.php?t=24967

Yeah these hoses are notorious...! Should have a bit of positive pressure in tank, so when you take off filler it should go "woosh" if it doesnt you are wasting fuel <guh> I use silicon hoses with new clamps but might need to pull tank out to get to the fittings on top side of tank <aaaarrrgh>

bumping some old **** up Is this line for the carbon canister or something els? thanks (the pic is from the filler neck side. rear right wheel) Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

yep

I just did all these on my daily (breather hoses), not one was left intact. If you do a search there is a diagram of how they all go which shows everything really clearly.

I just finished doing mine on my daily. only problem i had is that the the last breather hose seems to be way to small to connect to the carbon canister line.. and since there was nothing left of the original hoses im not sure what they used to plub it up.. i started to think i ****ed up somehow

It's an 8mm hose I think (not too sure). How do you feel you've stuffed something up?

Does anyone know how its meant to be connected?

How do you feel you've stuffed something up? im sure i have done it right. i followed a diagram i found on ct but it didnt say what size hose/ connection piece i needed for the carbon canister line as its slightly larger ---------- Post added 29-11-11 at 19:26 ---------- Quote: Originally Posted by Tic [View Post] I had the same problem, i just used tape to connect it because i couldnt find any other way to adapt it. Does anyone know how its meant to be connected? ^^ good man. if some1 can say how its originally connected i would be verry happy Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

it's a bizarre setup, where the breather line is fed into a larger rubber hose, which slips over the metal line. Like a hose-in-a-hose with a clamp over the top, if you can imagine that.

Is this the one you're after? Found it from another thread. The smaller hose is maintained in the larger piece via two clamps you squeeze so they expand. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

What a ugly setup. thanks!!
