Just tuck it up its a safety device that allows air to enter the fuel tank when it cools and the tank starts to crunch up from the vacumn inside it caused by the vapour control thingy

I have a leak in a radiator hose but dont know how to get the hose out

Remove the clamp on each end of the hose, then carefully twist and wiggle the hose, till it loosens from the nipple it is attached to. use care not to break the nipple off. (most radiator fittings are plastic) Sometimes it's easier to just slice the hose with a single edged razor...after all, you aren't saving the hose...right?

Brake problem

hi this is air in the system if you pump them do they go hard as normal? what you will need to do is , starting from the furthest caliper away from the fluid bottle you have to bleed the air out, you can buy bleeding systems for a few bucks/pounds but you can also do it yourself, to do this, find a length of small bore clear hose/pipe, locate the bleed nipple on the caliper, find a wrench/spanner that will fit the bleed nipple, put that on first, then get your pipe/hose, and slide that over the end of the bleed nipple ( make sure the pipe/hose is a nice tight fit ) locate a small clear glass jar partly fill it with brake fluid, put the hose/pipe into the jar so the fluid covers the end ( we don't want air to go up the pipe/hose ) then get a friend to pump hard on the brake pedal till it goes hard, and when it does tell them to keep their foot hard on the pedal , you then undo the bleed nipple ( you should get some fluid come out fast) when the pedal reaches the floor ( this happens immediately if you have opened the nipple far enough, then when it has hit the floor do the bleed nipple up again before they raise the pedal keep doing this till you see no bubbles coming through the hose/pipe, repeat the operation on the next furthest away, and so on till all the air has been removed from the system, be sure to check the fluid in the reservoir regularly as this will cause air to get back into the system again if it runs to low....hope this has helped and good luck, please vote thanks

Vacum leak 1992 ford ranger v6 4.0l teh leak is a small block that is located toward the rear of the engien on the drivers side it has 4 lines comeing off of it i can see that 1 of the lines goes to the...

If you don't see any line that should be attached to that port just plug it with a vacuum cap. The cap usually pops off when cranking the engine and the engine starts and stalls resulting in a backfire in the intake. If you don't have a vacuum cap, plug a piece of vacuum hose with a screw and put the other end of the hose to the open vacuum port.

the hose is prob your air susp hose, it goes to the metal line on your rear end right above the drivers side rear wheel, or you can look for the air bag and track down the lines and where they go, sometimes they are in the middle and have a Y fitting
