72 Cj5 232ci With Two Unusual Happenings..

I was filling the tank the other day, when I saw fuel coming out along the front pax side right behind the tire. I pretty much figured I may have over filled it, but it has never happened before. The line is a fuel line running down the frame as near as I can tell, the weather has been crappy and I have no way to get into a dry location to trace it back. But would it be a far guess to assume this is probably a return line that the PO just left hanging and that something should be done with, and if so, what should that be? How should it be terminated?

The next issue has happened 2-3 times over the course of last season. I noticed that occasionally I will get some coolant on the ground from the overflow hose. Not much, probably no more than a few ounces. It doesn't necessarily seem to be affected by ambient temps, which around NNY don't get much above 85°f. I have seen the temp. gauge rise briefly at times but not always when the radiator throws out the coolant, and never stays high (approx. 25°f higher than normal) for very long, a few minutes at best.

Any help or suggestions will be appreciated.

 

For the fuel, seem to be the fuel vapor canister that is pourring some liquid fuel on the ground. You may have a bad liquid check valve.

Colant seem to be normal, maybe the engine overheated a little so it release the pressure by the overflow hoze...

Take a look at the TSM - it has an excellent drawing of the fuel plumbing.

 

As for the anti freeze deal, I added a plastic catch bottle.. Can't help ya on the fuel deal, just gotta get under there and have a look
