    Freelander 2

    That hose goes on a spigot on the bottom of the fuel filter, then just hangs down. I think originally it would have been held by a clip on the dip stick tube, but most likely long gone by now. My previous FL2 didn't even have the hose. On my current one I've cable tied that hose to the...
