Hello Busicrx, I think you mean 'stop'. The closest english word is probably 'annul'. Sorry, I don't know the hose diameter, but you shouldn't have any trouble getting replacement hose from a car spares shop. It'll be awesome when its sorted.

Rubber low pressure Carb type fuel pipes will not last for 20 years, they all need replaced.

Annul can be the word...

im changing all, but slowly

The fuel condenser circuit is very important to good function of the car??

Thanks!!

Ah, maybe you meant: can the overflow system be removed completely? Check this out, some say you can indeed remove it...

.... and it would seem not to be there on 360's, but presumably it is there for a very good reason on the 340's!!

Mmmmmmm well... In that post describes the same problem. But since i change some hoses car smells less. Tomorrow i post some pics. The last thing that i going to do is fully fuel the tank to see if they leaks, that is the second thing i see after the smell

Old hose

I dont put the t piece of the old hose, and take the hose from the bottom of the small tank upper posible, to if in the tank apears fuel it dont leaks, and i can see if the sistem works

BTW when I sya they won't last 20 years, I generally mean the ones in the engine bay. the ones at the filler neck do seem to last longer.

[Busicrx]

The hoses of the engine bay seems been changed, not 20years.. The longer hose its because im still thinking if the t piece is necesary , im cornering high to see if leaks in some place to determinate this.
