In the past I:
Ran new fuel and vacume lines Cleaned the interior Replaced seals and gaskets on the fuel injection Today I decided it was time to replace the charcoal in the canister next to the fuel tank I purchased some replacement charcoal on Amazon. I've read that this isn't optimal but I feel it's got to be better than leaving the 45 year old origional mixture in the car. Attached thumbnail(s)

Guys, make sure you have replaced all 3 seals on the gas tank as well.

QUOTE(mepstein @ Sep 27 2015, 07:56 PM)  Guys, make sure you have replaced all 3 seals on the gas tank as well. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif) Are those called something other than fuel tank seals? I'm not finding them at pelican using that search term. |
