Routing and venting basics
A gas filler vent hose lets air escape from the tank as fuel goes in, which keeps pressure from building up. Vent lines run close to the filler and the tank, so they can be pinched or kinked by a body panel or bracket. A kink or blockage can cause fuel to back up at the filler.
When replacing a vent hose, route it along the same path as the old one, keeping it away from hot exhaust parts and sharp edges. Reuse the original routing clips where possible. Check the hose for cracks, stiffness or fuel odor, since vent lines age from heat and fuel exposure.
- Keep the route free of sharp bends
- Reuse original clips or replace them
- Look for cracks near both ends
- Watch for odor after the first fill
