well..I have been enjoying driving my car alot this past 2 months. More than any time since I have owned it. Then last week after I filled it up and parked it in the garage, I get this strong gasoline odor. Thought maybe I over filled it. Then yesterday..I see gasoline on the garage floor. So its time to start tracing gas lines I thought. Well...not so much..its the lines the previous owner setup in under the tank. It has a line that is torn. Neoprene line, no biggee I guess but there are some missing items noted I need education on.
There are 2 lines from the gas tank? Why two? Since I have a non fuel injected V8 can I just use one? and plug one? Secondly, no expansion tank on gas tank...and no tank strap either.... Ok V8 guys...what setup do you use and what can I do (besides add the expansion tank and strap) to improve it? Michael (IMG:style_emoticons/default/type.gif) |

QUOTE(championgt1 @ Jan 12 2011, 10:31 PM)  I donno Jack, I kind of like it. I'd like to hang it my garage to make me get off my A$$ and replace the segments of original fuel lines still in my car. Seems as I get older I need motivation like this for certain things. Too easy to just get in my car and drive it. I also need a big picture of a rotted out battery tray and engine shelf. Mine is not rusted through but paint is deteriorated and I just know there is surface rust under it. I've been thinking about the job but I think I would need to pull the engine out to do it right and my car runs perfectly so hate to do it just for this reason. So please, somebody, motivate me.
