Ventilation house
 
been working on finding a fuel leak. No visible fuel, but can smell the gas.
I removed the inspection hole cover to see it something with the fuel tank guage unit was it problem.
I found the the ventilation hose is broke, and is barely held on with a hose clamp. the hose is in need of replacement. I hope this is where the fuel smell is coming from

for the life of me, I cannot find in the FSM where the hose goes, or how to replace it.
can someone point to what I am not seeing in the fsm please. Im looking in the Engine fuel section.
its for a 80 n/a

Its pretty tight under there. Best way to go about is to jack the car a good foot or more off the ground. Take the line off the clamp and tug at the lines until you find it and presto. Just chase it until you have a second clamp location. Be sure to replace with a quailty hose. I got cheap and well the fuel ate my hose in 6 months lol.

+1 on that. Just because it's a breather hose don't cheap out - use something rated for gasoline....
