mystery "fuel" line? - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #75298 19 posts Started by mgnt232
So doing my k-frame I broke a piece of a line off, but the piece that broke off the inside was completely filled with rust, and looking where it broke its all rust too. the whole line is looking like its ready to fall apart (rust wise).

I will get a pic tomorrow, but try to explain the best I can smile.gif

If you were looking under the car (from engine to rear) you will see the 2 brake lines on left (i had to replace hose when i got my car) and the next line over (to the right) is the rusted through broken line. and next to it, are good, what I think are fuel lines.

The line I broke, isnt leaking anything, making the car run any different, or has any sound to it. Just wondering what exactly this line is lol

thanks everyone smile.gif

Red- My brake lines
Yellow- 2 fuel lines (I assume)
Blue- Line that is broken
Green- is right about where there is a line that is broken off right before the bend downward, right about where I marked in the pic

not a huge deal.
the vapors from your tank go thru this line into your charcol canister.

could be that or a rusted fuel filler neck or even a rusted or leaky fuel tank.

yea mostly, you look and smell and you'll find it.

mine doesnt smell like gas, just so its clear, when i broke I was like SH*T!!!!! but then no fuel came out so I smelled the line lol and it didnt smell, so Idk if that would be the reason to have it smell, I would check the tank, right in the middle (where there is a crease) and all the way around to feel if its wet

where in the engine bay does the other end of the line goto? does the other other end go to the tank area?
