Cracked fuel line...

Hi guys!

Today I took a look at my engine, to figure out a way to change that loooong crankcase vent hose that goes from one side of the engine to the other...

And I noticed that:


The rubber fuel line is cracked!
It's probably like that since a while...

I don't get how this hose can hold the pressure without clamps? Barb fittings can hold 50PSI ?!

I'm going to get a new one tomorrow (unfortunately, I have to drive the car... dumb idea).


And this shiny thing is the hose I have to replace... but really I might just replace it with a good vacuum silicon hose, or at least half of it, cheaper, easier, and more reliable!


So... check yours! My car isn't that old (2002)!

Ben
