My tank is causing me some confusion. Is the pipe with the filter sock an inlet return from the fuel injection? Or is it the feed for the pump?
Logic tells me that the sock would filter fuel before it left the tank but when I drained the tank both outlet/inlet pipes were removed and the fuel appeared to be exiting from the non-filter sock outlet -having said that the tank was heavy and I was struggling to hold it steady. My other question is should the outlet have the larger diameter pipe and the return the smaller or vise versa? I have carbs so the return side will be blocked off. |

Yeah that figures. The filter sock is in good condition, I just had to blow out all the rusty crap that had built up.
It seems to me that the larger diameter and smaller diameter outlets will only fit on one way -with the larger outlet mating to the filter.......I should've taken some pics (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Does anyone know if the tank is baffled or not? .....and I'm not talking about asking it hard algebra questions (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) |
