My brother just purchased a 86 FJ60 and had noticed some fuel leaking near the tank. We pulled the tank down and figured we would replace lines and hoses.
There is a steel line that routes across the body in front of the fuel tank (attached under the body along a cross brace). It's simply a loop. One end eventually goes to the charcoal canister up front, the other end goes to the "fuel connector" (on the passenger side wheel well, under the body, that connects to the fuel separator).
The question is - Is there a reason to have this loop go across the body in front of the tank. What is it's purpose? Cooling perhaps? We are considering just routing the line from the canister to the fuel connector.
Any insight is appreciated...
Regards.
