Tim,

Disconnect fuel line at fuel pump & tank.

At the tank end, use a piece of old bed sheet or similar material & form a bag so to speak & tape that to the disconnected fuel line.

Blow with compressed air at the fuel pump end & the home made bag will show you what was plugging the line.

You will also need to clean out the tank but it is very easy to remove & when replacing the tank replace both rubber hoses connecting the filler tube to the tank.

California Rubber has a store in Bakersfield & they have the sizes you need, I got mine at the Tulare store & both fit perfect.

Good luck.

Subject: IML: 56 Fuel Lines

Fuel lines seem  to be plugged on the 56 that has set for several years. What is the best way to clear them from the tank forward??

Any suggestions for this will be great.

 

Thanks
