Hello guys,
So my car still has d-jet including all the emission parts. One day when I was pumping gas I looked at the small hose that goes from the fuel filler to the expansion tank. And thought, "Is this really working?" Look at the pic. The tiny nipple seems to be pinched and closed. I can barely smell gas from other side of the hose. Inside of the hose is kinda wet so I think it's not completely closed. Is this a German technology or a DAPO's idea? BTW, when I got the car 7 years ago, the hoses from motor to the charcoal canister were unhooked in the engine compartment.   What does yours look like? kkid (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

They are all pinched like that. I can't explain why.
