I've been noticing the scent of gas vapor after driving, and yesterday I put my nose to task in the engine bay. I found that a hose had worn from vibrating against another for the past 26 years. Is this just a vapor hose? I'd imagine that if it was fuel delivery it would be spraying out, not just smelling like gas. It goes from the intake assembly across the back of the engine and into the firewall next to the speedo cable.
Question is, is it safe to just cut out the worn part and clamp in a new piece of hose or should I try and find the other end and replace the whole thing? It also wore through the fine Italian fabric of the other line, but not thru the rubber.
Thanks...
