Hey, I removed my fuel tank, had it blasted and am trying to re-install it. BUT there is a blockage in the larger (of the two) fuel lines. It seems to have been there since new?The vehicle is a late '73 and to the best of my knowledge looks like it is original. How am I suppose to insert a (maybe) 3" long screen into this fuel outlet with this circular thing approximately 1/2" inside there? I am trying to get the car up and running to make to the Porsche Swap Meet next weekend.
Thanks for your help. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) Way to go! Always a good feeling when you figure things out and hear that engine running again.

Do you think the washer in the hole was put in the tank at the factory to keep the assembly line worker that put in fuel sock , to make sure he always put the sock in the correct hole ??? I would defiantly go cross eyed after assembling 200 or more fuel lines a day !!! |
