2001 F-150 4.6l Identify this Hose
Long time lurker. I want to thank you all for the help that you didnt know that you have provided me in the past.
But today. Ive had a rough idle, thought it was a bad coil at first. but, i read a p0174 & p0171. Upon investigation, ive found that the hose circled in read is slit wide open. I tried pinching it with a pair of pliers, and it all but solved the rough idle problem.
So, i need to replace the hose. But i don't know what it is. Can i just replace it with rubber tubing? Or do i need to buy the specific line?
Thanks
Charlie

Yes you should replace with the proper stuff. It is not so much the thickness of the hose but the braided reinforcement in the hose . The fuel line will eventually collapse. If you have'nt guessed from my log in ,shopteach, I teach auto and am a dual ASE master certified tech so I have seen this before.

replacing it with gas line 100% cured my idling issue. So the cracked hose was certainly the culprit. Havent done any towing or anything else yet, but.
If its not much $, ill just grab a booster hose next time im over at the auto-parts store, just to be safe.
Thanks for everyones knowledge.

I swapped it out with booster hose anyways, just to be safe. Drove 1000 miles to FL round trip last week, and it ran perfectly.
Coils: I went ahead and replaced all 8 @ 120k miles just to avoid having to change them 1 by one as they went bad. Someone with allot of 4.6/5.4 knowledge recommended the accel coils. So i just went with his suggestion. Haven't noticed any change at all.
