When you fill the tank, air in the tank has to escape through the vent system, and this hose is part of that path. If the vent hose cracks, the Beetle will smell of fuel in the front trunk and the cabin, especially after filling or on hot days, and fuel vapor can collect right in front of the driver. If the hose collapses or is kinked, the tank cannot vent, so the pump nozzle keeps clicking off and fuel can spit back out of the filler. A fresh vent hose is a simple and inexpensive cure for both problems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWork with the tank less than half full and the battery disconnected.

A little soapy water helps the new hose slide on; do not use oil or grease.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFit new clamps where the factory used them and make sure the hose does not kink or rub on the body.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFill the tank and check for fuel smell or wet spots at every joint.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes this fit my 1973 Beetle?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes.
