Finally got around to removing my gas tank so I could put in a front sway bar, and I'm happy to report that I didn't find any rust. Just pine needles,
and old wrench and some crappy work by whomever removed the tank before regarding not using the grommets for the brake lines and gas lines. After doing so I now have a couple of questions I'm hoping someone can answer: 1st: Here are the wires that go to my fuel pump, and a third (arrowed) that I'm hoping someone can tell me what it goes to? (It wasn't plugged in when I pulled the pump.) Attached image(s)

QUOTE The third line should be the vent line that goes to the charcoal canister in the engine compartment. QUOTE The breather line usually ran to the airbox via along the side of the car. People get fancy with these lines and they may be responsible for your fuel smell. Another fuel culprit is the seal around the filler cap where when you have a full tank - it leaks. If this is the case, you should see evidence of a leak down the side of the tank. Thank you for the responses. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) This makes sense- my emmissions stuff was removed before I got the car. I don't remember seeing a 3rd line exiting the firewall near the engine, but I will have to look. If it's just sitting there in the engine compartment not connected to anything, I guess I could just remove it all together. Still looking for an answer regarding the unattached wire... QUOTE The sway bar mount looks fine. It looks like an after market sway bar I'l post pictures of it later. It was advertised as 15mm bar- I haven't measured it yet. It has adjustable drop links. It was never installed so the bushings are nice and new. |
