Morning,
I think its finally time to address the fuel smell on my 72. I pulled the tank last night and it looks like the tank was probably replaced at some point as it is near perfect. I ordered new stainless tunnel lines from Chris Foley as well as new hoses and clamps for both ends. My question is venting. There is literally no hoses left in the frunk. It looks like the 3mm lines should all tee together and tie to the charcoal canister. So 2 ports on the expansion tank, 1 port on the filler neck and the then the canister. Is this right? If so then I should need 2 tee's. The overflow hose looks like it is currently NA, 914 rubber is out of stock as are other vendors. Has anyone used 3/4" clear poly tubing in its place? Lastly after I hookup the canister does anyone offer a clean looking solution to tie the suction side into IDF air filters? Thanks. |

Just depends on if you want the factory setup or something similar to the later 75-76 setup with the charcoal canister in the engine compartment. On my 72 and 75, I used the stock expansion chamber and ran one hose back to the engine compartment to the charcoal canister. Versus the early setup with the charcoal canister on the tank, you have to run two lines back to the engine compartment.
