The shop guy was right, it does happen alot, especially Jeeps from the rust belt.

The line he's talking about is the fuel tank roll-over valve vent line to the charcoal canister. The tube from the roll-over valve, on top of the tank, is plastic, then it connects to a steel tube, which goes to the canister. The steel tube rusts out to the point where a hole forms in it and there's your vacuum leak.

Mine was like that. I removed the steel tube and installed a length of fuel hose in its place. I needed a coupler to join it to the rubber elbow that connects to the canister. Secured it inplace with electrical cable ties.
