        Easier way is to run a one  piece hose from the T junction to the
main plastic line just like is done on the  LH side.  No need for another
useless connector at the fire wall.  We  HAVE been over this a gazillion times
and STILL there are vans burning and  folks driving around with this plastic
fire wall connector that is about to  disintegrate any day now !

right-side firewall, and replace the plastic fitting on the  firewall with a
grommet and barbed brass  adaptor.<<<<<<<
