Fuel Supply Line: Description and Operation
Fuel Vapor Pipes and Hoses
WARNING: In order to Reduce the Risk of Fire and Personal injury:
-
If nylon fuel pipes are nicked, scratched or damaged during Installation, Do Not attempt to repair the sections of the nylon fuel pipes.
Replace them.
-
When installing new fuel pipes, Do Not hammer directly on the fuel harness body clips as it may damage the nylon pipes resulting in a
possible fuel leak.
-
Always cover nylon vapor pipes with a wet towel before using a torch near them. Also, never expose the vehicle to temperatures
higher than 115°C (239°F) for more than one hour, or more than 9O°C (194°F) for any extended period.
-
Before connecting fuel pipe fittings, always apply a few drops of clean engine oil to the male pipe ends. This will ensure proper
reconnection and prevent a possible fuel leak. (During normal operation, the O-rings located In the female connector will swell and
may prevent proper reconnection If not lubricated.)
DESCRIPTION
The vapor pipe extends from the fuel sender assembly to the charcoal canister. It is made up of nylon pipe and is connected to the fuel sender
assembly and the EVAP canister with the fuel resistant rubber hoses.
