i need an evap vac line hose dealio... anyone got any ideas...

[Yaj Yak]

like where the red goes... its a u shaped vaccum line, that reduces from about the diameter of a finger, to much smaller in its U...

mine blew off... and then cracked... and now is wrapped with electrical tape and a hose clamp for the time being...

any ideas...

get rid of the whole plastic line and run a rubber hose from the throttle body to the evap purge dealo. trust me it works.

[Turbocharged400sbc]

[Yaj Yak]

does my cutout remain open 99% of the time driving my car?

 

[Turbocharged400sbc]

we have a term for the evap system.....factory optional parts

 

[Yaj Yak]

well... if i misplace the evap system... what bad comes from it, save the tree huggin stuff...

like gas mileage... performance... anything bad there..

 

[Turbocharged400sbc]

the charcoal cannister will still capture the fumes leave the evap line open at the top of the firewall with just a small sock or filter attached to it.

nothing

 

[Yaj Yak]

ill prolly just do that then.

one time i almost failed in the buick because my steel gas cap wasnt sealing...i kindly pointed out the large vent above the cap for my tank. i passed.

if you do remove the evap make sure its out and everything is capped off. any leak is going to mess with the performance and efficiency.

I had i leak on the fuel tank o-ring and that was throwing my LTFT and STFT numbers way off.

you don't want to cap off the evap line at the tank, or you'll put the tank under vacuum as you burn the gas. Leave that line open, remove all components, and cap off the line at the TB. Remove codes, and done. Works like a champ.

x2, i have i have the evap line open around the fuel filter. you dont want to cap it off, you'd had no way to relieve the ftp
