Last week when I installed the last of the braided fuel line and poured gas in the tank no leak, the engine also didnt fire, at some point I got the engine to fire, the tank starts leaking around the nipples from the base of the tank, no sweat I swaped tanks, 2nd tank leaks in the same place after trying to fire the engine.
WTF (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hissyfit.gif) Any body had this happen to them? 2 tanks? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Is it the physics of pressure? Did I miss a ventilation hose some where? I was going to have the nipple welded to the tank, but I want to take the car out this weekend...JB weld it? |
