I was tuning my new carbs and out of no where I smell gas. Real strong!!! I just installed new fuel line inside the engine bay because the other stuff was old and becoming real brittle. I figured im in there so why not install new. So as soon as started to smell the gas I looked around the engine and there was no leak that I could detect. I looked down and the ground was starting to quickly flood with gas. Scarry as hell because the car was running for a while and the heat exchangers were real hot. After covering the ground with sand I let the car cool for a few but gas was still pouring out. I clamped off the line going to the pump and the leak stopped. I waited about 20 minutes and looked under the car. The fuel line going to the pump had ruptured. Man this was too close of a disater.I guess what I am saying is that anybody with this old type of fuel line get rid of it as quick as possible. Had it actually ruptured a little bit higher the heat exchangers may have ignited it. I am going to drain the tank and get all that old crap out as soon as possible.
Oh by the way any god advice on tuning weber 34`s.I totally suck at this. Thanks Joe |
