That would be the return line for the fuel.

 

What return line?

 

There are two fuel lines one liquid and one vapor. Unless the canister is flooded it'll be the return line.

 

Vapor from the tank goes to the intake manifold, it is not a return line like on a diesel.
Vapor from the tank goes into the charcoal canister where it is stored until the EVAP purge valve opens, the vapor is then sucked into the combustion chamber and burned.
The only way there could be fluid in the vapor line is if the charcoal canister somehow got flooded with fuel. That would cause other more serious symptoms. When that happens from overfilling the tank the usual result is charcoal pellets in the tank.

 

I was referring to the fuel return. If the can is soaked it will leak raw fuel.

Removal Procedure




1. Relieve the fuel system pressure. Refer to Fuel Pressure Relief (Without CH 48027) (Fuel Pressure Relief (Without CH 48027))Fuel Pressure Relief (With CH 48027) (Fuel Pressure Relief (With CH 48027)).
2. Remove the air cleaner assembly. Refer to Air Cleaner Assembly Replacement (Service and Repair).
3. Disconnect the fuel feed pipe from the fuel rail. Refer to Metal Collar Quick Connect Fitting Service (Metal Collar Quick Connect Fitting Service).
4. Cap or plug the fuel pipe and the engine fuel rail to prevent contamination.




5. Disconnect the evaporative emission (EVAP) pipe from the purge solenoid. Refer to Plastic Collar Quick Connect Fitting Service (Plastic Collar Quick Connect Fitting Service).
6. Cap or plug the EVAP pipe in order to prevent contamination.
7. Raise and support the vehicle. Refer to Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle (Service and Repair).
8. Remove the evaporative emission (EVAP) canister, if necessary. Refer to Evaporative Emission Canister Replacement (Service and Repair).
9. Disconnect the fuel feed pipe quick connect fitting. Refer to Plastic Collar Quick Connect Fitting Service (Plastic Collar Quick Connect Fitting Service).




10. Remove the brake lines from the fuel/EVAP/brake line brackets.
11. Remove the fuel/EVAP/brake line bracket nuts and remove the brackets from the body studs.
12. Remove the fuel and EVAP lines from the vehicle.
13. Open the brackets and remove the fuel feed pipe.

Installation Procedure

 

Do you "top off" your fuel tank?

 

not really.
I have a 50 mile one way commute to work.
I try and Fill it at quarter or more since my commute is nuts.
I have not seen a huge difference in gas mileage.
I will make sure and check on it more next week.
Thanks He was saying something vapor. Im just to stupid on cars to understand.
But I love this car and want to drive it until its dead.

Have him change the fuel and vapour lines, as I posted earlier. It’s an easy job especially if he has a lift! The vapour line won’t leak gasoline just vapour from the gasoline.

 

We have explained the two lines. The vapor line is for your EVAP system and the other are for fuel delivery from the gas tank.
