Gates 17-20 Ford Fusion 4-Cyl. 1.5L Valve Cover To Intake Tube Emission Control Hose

This Gates emission control hose, part number EMH338, is constructed from a high-temperature, oil-resistant EPDM rubber, ensuring it can handle the demanding conditions under your hood. It's specifically designed to connect your valve cover to the intake tube on 2017 through 2020 Ford Fusion models equipped with the 1.5L 4-cylinder engine. This hose plays a role in your vehicle's emissions system, helping to recirculate crankcase vapors back into the intake to be burned. A cracked or leaking hose here can lead to rough idling, check engine lights, and increased emissions.

Gates has built this hose to meet the original equipment specifications, meaning it should fit right without any modifications. The EPDM rubber material is chosen for its durability against engine heat and exposure to oil vapors, which are common in this area of the engine. Ensuring a solid seal is crucial for proper emissions control and smooth engine operation. If you're noticing issues with your emissions system or have a worn-out hose, replacing it with a well-made part like this Gates hose is a practical step.
