Schellen (NS) clamps. Fuel vapors in the trunk can lead
to disaster. The little expansion tank under the cowel (1
in the early diagrams) can split a seal from age. That
should be inspected also.
Grady,

My trunk has the aged plastic hoses (with clamps). I hear you on the rubber hose but I need to get a handle on the required ID's Do you have that info?

Thanks.

Harry
