So, some previous owner of my 1974 2.0L had changed one of the fuel lines coming from the firewall to where it goes up through the engine bay/tray. They changed one of the lines to modern 8mm rubber fuel hose.
However, they left one of those lines as the old "cloth" (?) wrapped fuel lines. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) Well, this morning I smelled gas inthe garage and saw that the old "cloth" line was dripping gas. I couldn't tell if it was leaking at the connection goign up through the engine bay or if just the whole line was "soaked". 1. I put a bucket under where I saw the drips coming from and told the wife to stay away from the car today until I get home. 2. What's the easiest way to get access to this area to change those fuel lines? Remove right rear tire and remove the heater box connection?\ TIA.... |
