When inspecting hoses, be on the lookout for cracks, loose clamps, material hardening, and leaks. Ensure that hoses secured with clamps maintain their tension to prevent leaks. For hoses without clamps, check for expansion or hardening at the fitting points, which can also lead to leaks.

Regularly inspecting the rubber and plastic hoses within the engine, accessory, and emission systems is crucial due to the elevated temperatures under the hood, which can lead to hose deterioration. Look for signs of cracks, loose clamps, material hardening, and potential leaks. Clamps are commonly used to secure hoses; ensure they maintain tension to prevent leaks, and for hoses without clamps, check for expansion or hardening around fittings that might result in leakage. Specifically, the PCV system hose routes crankcase blow-by gas through the PCV valve to the intake manifold via a rubber hose to reduce hydrocarbon emissions. Examine this hose for damage, cracks, and blockages, and clean it with solvent if clogged. Vacuum hoses, especially those in the emissions system, often feature color coding or stripes to indicate their purpose and requirements. When replacing hoses, ensure they match the original material. It may be necessary to remove hoses entirely for a thorough inspection, so labeling is advisable for correct reinstallation. Pay attention to plastic T-fittings, checking for cracks, and inspect the hose's fit over each fitting for any distortions that could lead to leakage. To detect vacuum leaks, you can use a small piece of vacuum hose as a stethoscope by holding one end to your ear and probing around hoses and fittings, listening for the characteristic "hissing" sound. For fuel hoses, scrutinize rubber lines for signs of deterioration and chafing, especially at bends and near fittings like the fuel tank, filter, or fuel injection components. Replace any damaged or worn fuel lines with ones designed for fuel injection systems and identical to the original. Spring-type clamps on fuel lines can lose tension and should be replaced with screw clamps when changing hoses. Metal lines, often used in fuel systems, should be checked for bends, crimps, and cracks, especially at bends. When replacing sections of metal fuel lines, use original equipment replacement lines for sufficient strength. Lastly, inspect metal brake lines at their connection points to the master cylinder and brake proportioning unit for signs of cracks, loose fittings, or brake fluid leakage, which should trigger a comprehensive brake system inspection.

Inspect metal brake lines for cracks and loose fittings, especially at the master cylinder and brake proportioning unit.

When inspecting metal lines, check for bending, crimping, or cracking. For replacement, use seamless steel tubing. Specifically, for brake lines, inspect for cracks and loose fittings where they enter the master cylinder and brake proportioning unit. Any brake fluid leakage should be addressed promptly with a comprehensive brake system inspection.
