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!!!! |

QUOTE(ConeDodger @ May 14 2009, 09:27 AM)  By the way... That is the cleanest tank I have ever seen! I thought mine looked like it was in good shape. I was going to clean and reinstall. Will it leak without new washers. I noticed the PO used some sealer on the return line. Does the kit come with the washer for the return line also??? Look at the top 2nd pic as you can see right through it. I am guessing the PO replaced it. |

You should definitely replace the washers with new ones. I don't see a hole in the netal return line (I think that's what you meant), but if there is one, you should replace it too. I don't know if these are still available new, but if not someone here probably has one to offer up. |
