CDLong Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 I want to make sure my connections are correct. 1985 Ford F150 302 EFI. The connections and hose routing are my last issues before I take her for state inspection. Pic 1 is the plastic tube from the canister, The plastic tube from the canister changes to rubber hose and connects at picture 2, (Not sure of the part name). Pic 3 is a close up of the connection The hose/ tubing from the canister runs down the passenger's side of the frame, goes across the crossmember, has a 90 degree elbow then oes to the fitting on top of the fuel tank. I assume the two open ports on the canister are just open ports, or am I missing more connections, filters, breathers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuzzFace2 Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 I dont have EFI and I have a 300 carb six but that is about what mine is. Do you still have the vacuum line routing sticker on the radiator support? It should have the hose routing for everything. Your canister looks a little different than mine as my hoses go to the big open ports on yours and dose not have the little ones the hoses are going to. Because I have dual tanks I have 2 canisters. The upper one has the tank & vacuum hose to 1 large port and a hose going from the 2nd large port to a lower canister large port. The 2nd large port on the lower canister has (should have) a breather cap on it so when the motor is pulling a vacuum on the canister(s) to burn the fuel vapors it can pull in fresh air. It looks like you are missing the breather cap on a large port or maybe both should have one? Dave ---- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just want to verify my hoses are correct and if anything goes onto the two other ports on the canister. My decal only shows 2 connections.

My decal only shows 2 connections. And that is what you have, 2 connections. The other 2 I believe should have a breather cap to let in fresh air. As long as the 2 hoses go to where the sticker shows you should be ok in my book. Dave ---- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
