sonjaab Posted October 11, 2019 Report Share Posted October 11, 2019 (edited) A fella with a 91? deville has a broken plastic line to vapor canister. Whats the best way to repair as it sez flammable, not repairable etc. Books shows it to be a vapor line and he sez no fuel running out of ti. I suggested using brass unions and spring clamps to repair. Thoughts or comments? Book canister diagram is too large to attach. Note the broken vent line way down under the PS pulley.

rockfangd Posted October 12, 2019 Report Share Posted October 12, 2019 Rubber hose works wonders. Fuel rated but high pressure is not necessary. Cut the bad out and splice in a rubber hose You could also do compression fittings but more difficult and not necessary Quote GM FAN FOREVER Nice, clean, luxury= fine automobile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonjaab Posted October 13, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2019 Roc.....The guy sez the hose is brittle. .I suggested working from the canister back to a good not brittle place on the plastic line. Warming the end with a heat gun and inserting a braSS union and going rubber hose to the canister. He says it carries no fuel. He hasnt came here as I suggested and no more posts on the FB Cadillac Style group from him. Looks like a easy cobb fix too!

rockfangd Posted October 13, 2019 Report Share Posted October 13, 2019 Yup. Go go right to the canister if need be. If the nipple breaks off the canister then a new canister is needed.
