snoop4 14-06-07, 10:47 AM 1995 Saab 900 SE covertible is leaking fuel when topped up, gets down to 3/4 of a tank then stops. A previous post of this problem suggested fuel filler hose; replaced it (there WAS a crack in it, but it didn/t go all the way through) but problem is still there. Before I go looking for a hoist to have another look does anyone have any ideas? Could it be the breather hose leaking? earthworm 14-06-07, 11:13 AM I would pressurize the tank and listen for a hiss. A breather hose ? TTBOMK, the system is sealed, due to all emissions being very stringently controlled.. Maybe this "topping off" has something to do with this .. snoop4 14-06-07, 01:55 PM The Haynes manual, in the process outlining removal of the tank, indicates "... disconnect the filler neck hose from the tank. Also disconnect the breather hose." so I am hoping that might be the problem. eckyboy 14-06-07, 02:34 PM Sorry to jump in snoop but where is the breather hose? snoop4 14-06-07, 03:37 PM Once I get the car up on a hoist and have a look I will let you know! earthworm 14-06-07, 03:41 PM The breather hose, 20 to 30 mm ID, I'd guess , connects the neck to a nipple on the middle portion of the tank. I have no part number, they probably last forever. If someone removed the neck, maybe they forgot to tighten all the clamps..:cheesy: Also note that the fuel cap has part number for a gasket and sealing collar.. Also, I see a little hose and a pressure sensor, for 1996> | |
