I have been having fuel delivery problems recently, so I am working at the front and going backwards.
I tried searching the site for pictures of the strainer sock filter thing but didn't know where it was or how it was used. Check out the pictures if you have wondered the same thing. I also got some pictures of inside my tank. Thankfully it is in excellent condition. 3/4 or 19mm for the securing nuts at the bottom of the tank. Pulled both fittings with their short lines off and cleaned with gasoline. You can see them on the red shop rag in next post.    Dirty gunk!  More pics to come! I hate to read, but love to look at pictures!!!! |

well it's not like you can get to it any other way...
I need to replace mine b/c I think it is causing a leak or the connection is just leaking at the bottom of the tank. How does it attach to the fuel output line? Got a pic of that? |

Just with a hose clamp, if I understood your question correctly. You have your plastic or SS if your cool (I'm not yet) than a intermediate rubber fuel hose that attaches from that (plastic lines in tunnel) to the tank outlet lines with the hose clamps.  |
