I am replacing my plastic tunnel fuel lines that go to the fuel tank with stainless steel lines.
My question is this: The rubber hoses that goes from tank to fuel line, do you disconnect and connect from steering cover underneath or do you allow enough hoses to do it from the top? Thank you in advance for your answer. |

The fuel pump was moved to engine firewall 15 years ago and it solved the dreaded vapor lock. Happen once in Arizona where it was 110 degrees. State Patrol stopped and said when it finally starts to run your heater! Thank goodness I could take the top off!

Turning on the heater will direct the hot air into the cabin instead of dupming it all on the fuel pump. Not really something I would want to do, but being 130 degrees in the cabin is still better than sitting on the side of the road till it cools down. |
