What hose is this?

Post by jstults »

My 81 Fiat suddenly began running rich. When I looked at the under carriage in front of the fuel tank I found this hose that appears to have broken off. Can you tell me what it is please? https://www.filesanywhere.com/FS/M.aspx ... a2aeadb1a6

It's part of the overall system for managing gas fumes. You need to find the diagram for the whole system and you can track it down. I don't have it with me right now, but I'm pretty sure you can find it on the forum or in the factory shop manual.

Thank you everyone. I believe it is the fuel vent hose, as it is a greenish, probably used to be clear hose. Does that make sense?
