Evaporator fuel hose leak 850 1996

posted by  someone claiming to be mbmusgrove on  Thu Mar 10 07:19 CST 2005 [RELATED]

Hello all-
My check engine light is back on, after being reset by the dealer. They have told me that there is a leak in the evaporator fuel hose.

Where and what is this exactly? The hose itself is pretty cheap ($17.95) but they say the tank needs to be dropped, resulting in 3 hours of labor, and a total of $273.85.

Is this something I could repair myself? 3 hrs. seems like a long time; taking the tank off doesn't seem that difficult; and replacing a hose couldn't be that hard. They also say it's totally driveable for the time being without it repaired. If so, why even have it? I'm lost.
Any input is really appreciated!
