Fuel filler hose question.

Featured Replies

Is there different venting methods on some cars? On my car ( 71 ) the 1 foot or so hose that comes out the top of the fuel filler hose, goes to the expansion tank. Didn't i see pics. and talk about a tee that is on the 1 foot or so hose? Thank you.

The 1970 car I have has a tee at the top of the filler hose and no ex pansion tank. One hose from that tee goes down through the floor a few inches in front of the filler hose to act as an overflow drain to the ground. The other hose from the tee goes towards the back of the car, through the floor at the right ta il lig ht assembly to the top of the ga s tank.

Here is a pic of the tank and plumbing on my '71 as I was re-installing it. I think the "T" you are talking about is at the bottom of the short hose at the filler tube. Hope this pic helps.
