Fuel Vent Hose in Trunk

[baltobernie]

Tough to tell without a scale, but it looks about right. If it's an inch or so in length, that's it.

I just realized that my 1981 differs from this to a degree. Trying to figure out which of my tank hoses goes to my pump etc...

the one that goes to the pump will bubble when theres gas and you blow thru it.joe

Fiat88, a little dish soap on the metal where the filler tube slides over should help ease the install. At least that is what I found when replacing fuel hoses that were a tight fit.

I'm using 8mm fuel hose for my vent. That's fine right.

[WYSpider]

Yes.

[jimmycakes401]

Woot! Can't wait to get my fuel lines all done. Need a fuel pump bracket and I'm good to go!

silly question, I am able to simply remove those three vapour lines that go into the fuel vapour union without issue? I am looking to replace these.

What's your question? Easily remove them? Mine were easy to take off and on. I had to order new ones. I think I got them from autoricambi??

sorry I am heavily medicated and my grammar is messed up. I wanted to know if I can simply remove these lines (any harm in just taking them off) or is there a special procedure?

[WYSpider]

I had to use a pair of tin snips to break the original hose clamps.

[jimmycakes401]

Mine were factory and I had to use a razor blade to split them and then yank them off.

I will try to clarify.....I have no issue with removing these lines. I want to make sure that I can simply remove then replace them without having to do anything else. Will this create any issues with the gas/vapour lines?

[WYSpider]

If your battery is in the trunk I would disconnect the negative cable before replacing the vent lines. Gas vapors and spark don't mix well.

Other than that there should be no issues simply replacing each hose with a similar length 8mm hose. You can use 5/16" if you can't find 8mm.
