Yep, it has to be at just the right angle. Slightly angled toward the engine as I recall

Take a Sharpie and mark the correct orientation of the line relative to the tank before you take the tank out.

QUOTE(Krieger @ Sep 14 2016, 05:45 PM)  Take a Sharpie and mark the correct orientation of the line relative to the tank before you take the tank out. Thanks to all ,have made up a few basic tools to tighten outer fittings and they worked fine. Have all pipes /hoses test fitted and lined up with support @ the engine case and trailing arm mount,my plan is the drill the male/male connector on the suction to make oil changes easier and cleaner. Really want to check the tank @ the same time PO said he had it repaired many years ago but never told me if it was clean. |
