Hose identification

[shanamichi]

Hi, I was trying to reinstall my stock muffler and then I realize a hose came loose. I need some identification on this hose and where does it need to go?
(Hope you guys can see what I am talking about since the pictures are not so clear) As seen from the pictures, does this hose connect to the yellow thing thats sticking out?

i forgot to add, it is a 2003 mazda protege5 manual trans.

I believe that is your ac cooling unit drain tube, it's supposed to be open. From your photos I cannot tell exactly where the hose is. The ac drain tube is on the right side
from driver seat and just behind the engine compartment.

I am not sure if it is the ac cooling unit drain tube because it is at the back, of the car and it runs from driver side (left side) to passenger side (right side). I took a few more pictures.
*What are some hoses that can possibly be knocked loose when trying to install a muffler? or knock out of place.

You are right, I didn't read your post carefully enough. There are several hoses near the fuel tank and the evaporative emissions components. Looking at the shop manual drawings there is a fuel tank pressure sensor mounted on a hose assembly. It appears from the drawing the assembly connects to the right rear of the fuel tank. The sensor has a hose attached to it that doesn't show to be hooked to anything. I cannot find any information on that hose. Maybe an air vent?

I looked under my car and couldn't see anything that may help.

Sorry I cannot be more helpful.

I am guessing here but I think that is a vent house since it is cut on an angle

Sorry, I am not too mechanically incline. What is a vent house? and is that suppose to be open ended or does it has to be connected to something?

Hmm..., when you look under your car, did you find a similar hose? or did you see the yellow rubber thing that is sticking out and located on top of the rear axle in one of the pictures?

Are either that yellow piece or that hose drawing any vacuum (or does it feel like air is coming out of either one)?

The yellow piece is just there with no holes or anything, it looks like some kind of stopper. For that hose, I have to check when I get home, and I will find out asap.

Can you take a picture of where the other end of that hose is connected? It does look like some kind of vent or drain hose - perhaps for your evaporative emission system.

I took some more pictures, this is the best i can do with taking the picture of the hose from the other end. The hose outlined in red is the one I am talking about. And I checked the hose, its not sucking or blowing when the car is started.

I have the same thing by the gas tank and its not connected just like yours on one end. I would say its normal.

hmm, I am glad to hear that.
