Ok. I had all of my vacuum line replaced last year. This year there is a small leak. I'm wondering if vacuum lines are usually rubber. A different mechanic said he's going to have to replace the rubber lines with steel.

I want to be sure I'm not getting bent over with no lube. He made it sound like, "ugh rubber lines over the gas tank, and woven around everywhere"

I'm thinking I should tell him, "find the leak and fix it. Don't worry about the rest of the line."

 

Bingo!

 

I don't know, nor have I seen, everything. But the only vacuum lines I have ever seen on any motor have been rubber. Never Steel. I'd get a second opinion, if it were me.

 

Brake lines, fuel lines

 

That's what I thought guys. Thanx, I thought it sounded a bit fishy. They didn't make the same suggestion yesterday. Perhaps they are read the forum. LOL

 

get silicone vacuum lines. never do it again they are virtually indestructable

 

Vacuum lines over the gas tank...A leak there should throw a check engine light for the EVAP system. There are rubber connections for the fuel tank pressure switch and other EVAP components...
