Hello all,

So I have been smelling raw gasoline from time to time but I assumed it was from my truck not having an o2 sensor installed until I parked in a parking lot today and when I came out There was a large puddle of gas on the ground. I found that it was coming from this random hose in my engine bay (pics included below). I just bought this truck so I am not sure what it is for or where it is supposed to go but it seems that at random points it just dumps fuel out onto the ground. It looks like the previous owner plugged it with electrical tape? but I am not sure what it is for. I had it zip tied up so I could get it home without pouring gas all over the ground. If anybody has any insight on to what/where this hose is for it would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

-Sorry if these pics aren't clear enough

That is a vent line that went to your charcoal canister, but from the pic looks like you don't have one anymore.
