Anybody know what this might be?


Recommended Posts

Found this loose wire/tube. Found it just in front of the gas tank. Does anybody know what it is for, and why or if its been cut, and if I need to fix it,lol

what is it  ? a  hose ?  if  so follow  the other  end  see if  that may give clue to what its  purpose   was  or  is  for  if it is  a  hose my guesse  would be  a past  second fuel tank reserve? in which  case   cut it out !  other than that  there is no telling !!   maybe  this  could make  headlines  lmalol

Vapor return is my first guess too. On the xj there are two plastic inlets with a rubber grommet sealing them at the top of the tank, those can break or have the like pop lose easy enough.

 

On a 91 XJ there like a y splitting line before the tank , the main rubber line goes back to the frame to a metal line that looks like a brake line and that goes to the front of the jeep then back to a rubber line and to the fuel system to recycle the vapors in some models .

Ok, thanks. Do I need to fix it?

You need to find where the other end is connected to be sure what it is. More than likely it is just a vent/return hose but you still want to be sure before leaving it hang.
