Vacuum line question Options

[74ravenna]

Hello,

I broke the line that runs from the expansion tank through the tunnel and then up into the engine bay. The section in the engine bay was brittle and I snapped it about a foot from where it connects.
Plus, i'm in the process of replacing the fuel lines and I think one of them is binding somewhere on that very line in the tunnel.
So, if I remove that little black hose, how hard is it to replace?
I can't see where it goes through the rear section of the tunnel through the wall.
It looks like it could be a complete nightmare.

Thanks
Steve

That line typically runs under the drivers side rocker panel, not the center tunnel. But I've only had DJet cars. Need to investigate a little more.

BTW, don't fear a nightmare. If its from the expansion tank or charcoal canister, it's not going to affect how the car runs at all (at least on Djets). Worst case scenario is you might smell some gas fumes if it's not dealt with. All it does is feed potential fumes back into the engine bay. And my controversial opinion is, screw that, just run a rubber hose out the bottom of the trunk and forget about it. That is unless you are worried about complying to concourse standards or you want to make sure every fume from the gas tank goes back into the engine instead of the air.
