Gas Tank Help

Sparky73 · 03-24-2005

Where did the original "vent hoses" go in the GT for the gas tank? Where can I re-route them too so I don't get Vapors inside my car. Also.. are the vapor lines those like 3/4 inch, 2 tubes, or what? I also notice there is a place that a wire needs to connect too, along with a couple more places for hoses to go...what goes in all those places???

I got the hose and instruction for routing from OGTS. There should be 2 ea. aprox 5/16 plastic T fitting floating around back there, one has a small hole orphice that goes down under the car next to your fuel supply lines up to your vapor canister, the other T goes from the fwd nipple on the tank over to the filler neck. they vent lines connect one to fwd nipple on tank to filler neck to rear nipple on the tank and out the bottom of the car. Those 3/4 lines are darins for the rear vent in the rear window.

Hope that helps.

the wire that connects to the tank is for the fuel guage, i beleve its blue with a white stripe and it connects to the round metal part on top on the drivers side

Sparky73, Here's what I think you're looking for. It came from the Hemmings site if I remember correctly. HTH, Jarrell

Jon,
First, PLEASE start threads in the proper Forum. THEN look around that Forum, or at least do a search to see if your question has already been answered, oh say, 30 times. Which is the number of times this has been brought up.
