I'm replacing all the fuel lines on the beast, and have a question about
how the double canisters in front are supposed to be routed. I've looked in
the manual, but my installation has huge loop-de-loops of hose not shown in the manual.
Also found another vacuum leak here in a worn section of hose...
Anyway, is there a reason to have big loops of hose to/from the canisters? Is
this to act as a trap or something, or is our installation (possibly by a PO) just weird?
There are also for unknown reasons, a couple of pieces of steel tube in the loops,
about 6 inches long. Any reason?? They don't seem to be related to heat exposure
as they're pretty randomly placed, and I don't see them in the manual diagram.
I searched the photo site, but couldn't find pictures of other folk's canister installation.
Hints appreciated.
thanks,
