Re: IML:Fuel Problem on 1974 Imperial



I had that problem on a 64. It turned out that one of the hose clamps at the fuel pump was just loose enough to let fuel drain back, but not enough to cause a puddle on the ground.

Subject: IML:Fuel Problem on 1974 Imperial



My 1974 Imperial has developed a fuel problem. When it sets over night, all the fuel siphons out of the
carburetor (thermo-quad) and the fuel filter. This is the third rebuilt carburetor, all have the same problem.
I have owned the car since 1994 and it ran perfectly until last spring. I had the carburetor rebuilt at that time
and have had this problem ever since. I put on a new fuel pump and filter with the 2nd commercially rebuilt
carburetor on. Three different shops have worked on the fuel system with no luck. If I drive the car regularly
after it first starts, the car runs perfectly. All the vacuum lines seem to be in the correct place. I am out of
ideas.


PLEASE HELP!
