More vacuum hose help needed
'90 auto
I am trying to hook all the vacuum hoses back up on this car. I've deleted all the smog equip. and the egr and have figured out the engine hoses. There are still two that have me confused though. These are coming of the canister located on the drivers side in the front bumper. There is a hookup on the bottom of the canister, where does it go? Also where does the hookup that is labeled Fuel Tank go? I know it sounds obvious, but I don't have a hose running from the tank to the front, nor do I remember one when I took the car apart. I also have the tank filler lid off the car so I can see in there and can't see anywhere that it would hook up anyway.

Alright the bottom one from canister goes to atmosphere , there sould be a line that runs to and in between the frame extension and the lower body piece above the spoiler on drivers side. Ill look at mine now and post back on other.
"Fuel tank" goes from canister to disc (solonoid/diaphram ?) to thin hard line ( with the 2 plastic hard lines that will go to TB) following the frame rail goes to a rubber line for about 6' then a metal hard line that ressembles a brake line (folowing frame rail, and starts just about at the alternator) and then follows the other brake lines that go behind shield and back to tank. Hope this makes sense if not I can post a pic let me know.

As the man said above.
The fuel tank line is the tank vent that went to the canister.
Do not plug.
At the tank filler it is the small steel line bottom left with a hose off it running down the left side of tank.
You can disconnect it in the rear wheel well where it fits the steel line to the front that way you have a tank vent

Yes I did. All the way down to where it was just the frame rails from the firewall forward. I had to take the engine and wire harness out so I decided to take it all apart and clean/paint it. Thanks for the help, I'll take another look at it tomorrow.

I have wondered too where these lines from the bottom of the Vapor canister go. I have two of them coming out of the bottom of the canister that seem to just vent out right there in the bumper. Should these lines be hooked up to something.
