Charcoal canisters

I have a ?, on the lines from the charcoal canister, there are several, the one I am particular about is the one going to the gas tank. now I know most of these lines are vacuum that run to the intake manifold, but the one going to fuel tank is it supposed have fuel in it, I replaced those hoses and they were dry rotted and found fuel when I pulled it off the metal tubing going back to the fuel tank.

Re: Charcoal canisters

Lines are vapor only, shouldn't be any fuel in them.

I'm 59 and was born in Scotland. I watched all the Anderson stuff as a kid. Couldn't get enough. Moved on to bigger toys now. Enjoy.
