I assume that the hoses on the left side are the feed and the return and they look to be on with hose clamps. The hoses on the right side may be the vent tubes that you refer to below. They look like they might be more difficult to change. Does not look like basic hose clamps and they are smaller and in a tighter spot to get to. Any advice in regard to them? Have you changed them out?

Good assumption, both of our 114/115 cars have needed new line there. But, it's not standard line, it's two different diameters: big on the tank down to small on the line. Rusty has 'em, I'm sure. Or, you could do as I did and cut the end off of a bad cigar hose and use that instead. I did this because I had a half-bad cigar hose, and was curious. There are several lines on and off the tank, including vents, etc. If one is shot due to age, they all will be about in equal need of replacement. -- Jim
