Was going to post this in the prior thread but most of seems to have disappeared.
Anyway: 1. Got the old incorrect hose dyed and inserted through the grommet, so it looks ok. But… 2. Looking under the gas cap, the line is crimped, see pic, so no vapor flow (tried…). Question: is this normal? Part of a recall notice done ages ago by dealer or by a mechanic somewhere along the time path? I’m sure I didn’t do it.  |

yeah mine's crimped.
its not there for fluid to pass through. its for air mixed with vapors. fuel expands with heat. and - as you also note its to provide pressure equalisation as the tank draws down, air is drawn in via the charcoal can route, through the expansion tank and through that little crimped tube. probably a good thing you cleaned it. sounded like it was clogged. |
