It has happened to more than once over the years and I'm sure that when they located the cause of the fumes they were elated. Others were just as elated when they learned their OEM hose had cracked over time and the old hose was the cause of their gas smell.

Obviously pulling it thru using a piece on nylon string helps considerably. A knot and a cpl half hitches and a piece of tape also help BUT if the old hose is no longer there and you own a shop vac you MIGHT be able to put the end of your shop vac hose or the end of a tube with a rag sealing it so it sucks the string thru the opening on the opposite side. The string makes it much easier to get the new hose pulled thru. Good Luck!!<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:black'>Tony Lang (TtT)<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div id="ydp54f7300ayiv7604770578ydp93fada2yahoo_quoted_1750038936"><div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#26282A'>On Thursday, March 15, 2018 06:06:47 PM CDT, Joe Brown via Tigers <<a href="mailto:tigers@autox.team.net">tigers@autox.team.net</a>> wrote: <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#26282A'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#26282A'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><div id=ydp54f7300ayiv7604770578ydp93fada2yiv3648654576><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#26282A'>Hi, <o:p></o:p></span></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#26282A'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#26282A'>Does anyone have a good photo showing how the vapor hose gets routed in the trunk?
