BIGMlilo, do you have pics of the HU installed? I am thinking about getting one off eBay. Thanks

Just picked up my first 80 and I love it! Been reading a ton of threads and the faq's. I don't have the FSM yet and was hoping someone could tell me what this hose is for. See attached picture. Thanks to all for the great forum!
