The passenger compartment smells like gas and I mean in a big way! However there is not a drop of fuel under the car...any ideas? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

One of my fuel lines was leaking, so I pulled both of them out. After over 30 years the lines were still supple and in great shape. One just had a couple of holes burned in it from a bit of patch work in the floor pan beneath the tunnel done by a body shop. Luckily, the tank was out at that time and there wasn't any fuel present. I replaced the holey line with the correct one from AA and put the good original one back in too. That's the only line on the whole car that hasn't been replaced, but I saw no reason to do so.
I didn't have to take the engine out - didn't even think it was in the way. There is a bit of a trick to putting the lines back in, just turning them the right ways while feeding them down. Seeing how good the condition of my original lines was, I would also suspect the ones under the tank first. They're also a bit easier to check. It's not a bad idea to just see what's under there after all this time anyway. Just my .02 |
