What lines connect the engine to the fuel tank? ›

Fuel lines

The lower line supplies pressurized fuel to the regulator and injectors, while the upper line returns low-pressure fuel to the tank.

the line going to the pump (should be about 3/8" hose or 1/2" outside diameter) will be the feed from the tank to the pump, the other can be 1 of 2 different lines, this will depend on the emissions package and original carburetor configuration the truck was built with if this line is about 1/4" in diameter it will be ...

The center line is the EVAP line and it runs from the EVAP canister to the tank. The two outside lines are pressure and return lines from the fuel rail. However not all vehicles/pumps have the center line connected.

When a vehicle has a broken fuel line, it develops issues with engine performance, causing problems like stalling misfires, or hard starting. In some cases, broken or leaky fuel lines can prevent your vehicle from running because of the flaws in the engine performance.

Traditionally fuel lines had flared or compression fittings on the rigid pipe sections, and hose clamps where rubber hoses attached to metal components. In modern cars with plastic fuel lines, quick release fittings are becoming more common – this allows the fuel system components to simply clip together.

The (clear) main fuel line with the filter (filter inside the fuel tank) goes to the bottom of the carburetor (or the elbow shaped nipple). The (clear) fuel intake line runs from the top of the carburetor (straight nipple) and goes to the short post on the back of the primer bulb.

A hose used to carry fuel vapor from the fuel pump or the liquid vapor separator back to the fuel tank.

There are only two hoses running from the pump. One is the high pressure line, which sends fuel to the injectors. The other is the return line, which dumps fuel that the injectors don't use back into the tank.

You should have one thin line which is your fuel line that goes from the carb to (Inside the fuel tank) and attached to the filter. The thicker line is your return line which goes from the carb if it has the primer bulb built into the carb or to the external primer bulb if not attached to the carb.

There should be three fuel lines that all attach to other pipes on the side of the car. The three pipes would be a # XXXXX fuel feed line, # XXXXX a fuel return line, #3 an evap vapor line.

What are the three types of fuel lines? ›

FUEL LINES

These include heavyweight lines for the high pressures found between the injection pump and the injectors, medium weight lines for the light or medium fuel pressures found between the fuel tank and injection pump, and lightweight lines where there is little or no pressure.

Fuel meaning: Meaning of fuel is a substance that is burned to provide nuclear energy, heat or power. Materials like coal, wood, oil, or gas can provide heat when burned. Methanol, Gasoline, Diesel, Propane, Natural gas, Hydrogen are types of fuel. Nuclear energy is produced by burning plutonium.

The fuel return line is a hose that returns excess fuel from the engine to the fuel tank where a fuel pressure regulator is used. Fuel injection systems may or may not have return lines. Mechanical diesel fuel systems with an injector pump always have a return line that must never be pinched or clogged.

One hose is to alow the fuel to go into the fuel tank. the other hose is to alow the air in tank to escape alowing room for the fuel. One delivers fuel to the tank, the other delivers the gas / vapor the is displaced from the filling process through the vent hose.

The fuel return line is a hose that returns excess fuel from the engine to the fuel tank where a fuel pressure regulator is used. Fuel injection systems may or may not have return lines. Mechanical diesel fuel systems with an injector pump always have a return line that must never be pinched or clogged.

A returnless-type fuel system is one that is designed to use the powertrain control module (PCM) to regulate fuel delivery. A fuel pressure sensor mounted to the supply rail of the fuel injectors allows the powertrain control module to keep an eye on the fuel pressure.

Does an electric fuel pump need a return line? A pump does never need a return line. A pressure regulator can need one though. The pressure regulator is placed between the pump amd the engine, and keeps the pressure constant, which is needed to precisely deliver fuel.
