I have this brand new braided hose, that was to be used in a 78 280, that I would like to sell, but, as a 240 guy, I have no clue what it's used for. The long, sort of straight section is 14" long, while the curvy section is also approx. 14" long.

This appears to be one of the vent hoses for the fuel tank - the one that attaches at the middle-rear of the tank and enters the interior compartment behind the tail light cover on the right side. It is possible this hose spans multiple years of S30's. I replaced all 3 of mine during the resto, the P/N's were: 17239-E4601, $31.41; 17235-E4601, $61.53; 17236-E4601, $88.84. If the i.d. is about 1/2" then I think yours is the 3rd one in my list.

Hope this helps.

Jim

Thanks for your reply. I wasn't even thinking vent lines, just underhood. I'll do some further research.
