I checked he 22P and there's no PN for this tube listed.
I need the fuel tank vent line that goes up to the charcoal canister by the left strut tower.
I know I need the version that works with the '87-'88 tank vent/expansion tank system.
I do know know if that is the same as the '86 and earlier versions.
Years ago I swapped from the V6 style fuel lines on the right side of the engine bay to 4 cylinder fuel lines on the left side of the engine bay, as those work better with the NorthStar fuel rail.
Does anyone have one I could snag?

That tube kit is...
main tank to aux tank
aux tank out to center of car.
How bad is it rotten etc?
you can just cut out the bad area then any standard SAE J30Rx fuel line & any clamp. If needed, add extra hose to route far away from heat sources.
This line should never see any pressure as EVAP can is 0 pressure for that port.

If car has Emission test for inspection use low pressure or other "soft" line so inspector can use a pinch tool easy to test the tank.------------------

I suspected that. Have you ordered a set?

My expansion tank lines were fine and I painted them with clear POR-15. I'd still happily swap them for stainless. I realized I should just order the set and see which two show up, so I ordered it earlier today.
For the price of tools, fittings and opportunity cost of labor, it's cheaper to buy a replacement set from InlineTube than to repair a factory set.
I need the canister line because years ago I swapped my car to '85-'86 Iron Duck fuel lines that work better with the Northstar. I didn't realize at the time that I should have kept the '87 canister line.
