 Posted: Sun Sep 23, 2007 2:26 pm Post subject: fuel expansion tank question. |
 |
|
I stopped to fuel up and after filling it up. I noticed that fuel was dripping from the vent lines of the expansion tank. They have a braided material over them so I could not see any cracks.
So I quess the tank is like an overflow?
has this happen to anyone else?
Any info would help.
thanks

Yup! just replaced one of the lines on the drivers side. Just got wet and dripped each fill up.
On the passengers side the PO had cut the interior braded line short and put a hose clamp on, which was now leaking and difficult to get to so it's temporarily RTV siliconed up and seems ok for now.. I guess full gas tank hose replacement is in the future!
