Hey guys was looking around my rear axle because I will be installing the 9 inch rearend on my 82. I noticed there is a wire running from the fuel tank (I think) all the way up into the engine bay but wasn't hooked up to nothing when i pulled the 2.3L out. Any ideas to what it went to?
Well I may have found what it went to but I'm not sure what it is to be honest. But it definitely comes from the gas tank I lowered it today and made sure. I looked on the Haines diagrams but nothing showed up. I got a picture of what I think it went to but if anybody has any suggestions to what it is and it's purpose I would greatly appreciate it.
I don't know it's exact job but it's part of your emissions system. Maybe an aspirator of some type. You could delete it but (deep sarcasm) that may just be the final blow that kills our environment.
My 240sx is completely emissions free. I've only got two vacuum lines in the whole car. One is to the fuel pressure regulator and the other is to the brake booster. Everything else, gone.

That looks really close to the HVAC vacuum reserve reservoir canister and not the emissions reserve canister, but then again neither one (HVAC or EMISSIONS canister) have any electrical going to them they are both vacuum operated.
That's why I'm not positive if the wire went to it. The wire is like a quick connect wire with copper coating around the inside. It's got a liquid in it I can hear it slushing around.
Its the vacuum reserve reservoir for your HVAC ( Heat, Vacuum and A/C).
You said you could hear something sloshing around inside, it shouldn't have anything inside of it. It sounds like its cracked and your getting water inside is why your hearing the sloshing of liquid.

Okay I have my heat and a/c deleted so I wouldn't need it right? So it shouldn't be Hooked up to the fuel tank so do you have any idea what the wire could have went to? It has me stumped
If you've deleted your heat and A/C you don't need that. Just make sure that you have the vacuum lines capped/plugged so that you don't have a vacuum leak.
No it shouldn't be hooked up to the gas tank and since this is a 1982 you might want to post your question on four eyed pride since it deals 79-86 Mustangs. Four Eyed Forums
