Re: [FWDLK] Fuel line leak

Snow? What's that? It's raining here in North Carolina.
Yeah John I know about those leaks, I had one in the line right at the
place where it goes over the frame in the rear and ventures toward the
front. I kept on seeing bubbles in the filter at the carb, thinking it was
the pump I pulled it and tested it. It turned out to be sucking air through
a rusted out spot in the line.
I just removed all of it and installed new line.

 Just a little tip for you guys - next time you have your car jacked up in
 the rear check the short (about 4 inches) rubber fuel line that goes from
 the tank to the metal line. I had gasoline all over my garage floor the
 other day and I was prepared to take tank out but it was just one of the
 clamps (tension type) came off one end of the hose. The hose appeared kind
 of soft and mushy so with new hose and 2 new clamps I'm set to go for a
 few more weeks until the snow starts falling.     John Z
