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!!!! |

I would get that fixed. You really don't want to be leaking gas! I recently replaced the sock in my tank, after I had it boiled and sealed. My tank was full of rust. You couldn't even see the return line opening inside the tank. When I put it back in I made the new lines the same length as the old ones. One line kinked and I couldn't feel it. I had to take the tank back out and shorten the lines up. It's not too bad of a job. Good luck! |
