So while putting on studs, i tried removing the cover off the lines to see what's going on... my car is generally rust free but all the metal in this area is rotten. All but one cover nut stud broke off. The cover itself disintegrated in my hands. I don't know if it's the fuel or what but it's freaky. It's filled with clumps of dirt too.
Anyway, the hose seems fine. But the T that connects the thick hose to the filler neck and a lead to the overflow tank is completely rotten. It fell off when I touched it, I could see some fresh fuel inside. I gotta get a better look at it but I think I need a new filler neck, cause the other end of the hose that connects the T to the filler neck is also rotten off...
It's weird too cause in the realoem diagram, there's no T. The metal line from the filler neck goes straight into the thick braided hose, and it has another nipple on it that leads to the overflow tank.
Hose that used to be on the left of that "T", more like an L now. The left side is what goes to the filler neck.
Check out the interchange around the #4 hose clamp, in my car it's a metal T, and there's a hose that connects it to the filler neck:
