Re: AoT's White Wonder
Good news, the hardline in the body is fine... it's not clogged.
I also found out the car has a "fuel injection" tank, so the 5mm hose I had didn't fit, it needs 7mm.

Re: AoT's White Wonder
The tank was in good shape. Some brown residue but a few tanks of gas will handle it. I'll be sure to change the fuel filter after the first tankful.
The FI tank as a second fitting for the fuel return. The real problem is the FI use 7mm hose when the carb tank used 5mm. So i couldn't put the hose on from the tank to the body.

the more we unravel this bug the more "mutt like" it becomes. The disharge out of the hardline was nasty!Glenn wrote:Good news, the hardline in the body is fine... it's not clogged.

Pulled the tank out and got a look of what was underneath. GR found that the steering damper was not connected so dug out a 10mm nut and now it's bolted in place. good catch!
Moving along...
Keep working at it and it gets done!!

Mix-n-match parts, you have to expect it with these cars.

Re: AoT's White Wonder
Yes... two larger.
Fuelie cars have a fuel loop where there's a high pressure pump and whatever the engine doesn't use is dumped back in the tank.

Re: AoT's White Wonder
Just use a 7mm FI hose and 2 hose clamps on the body side.

Re: AoT's White Wonder
I normally use the smaller hose in one end and the bigger hose in the other endGlenn wrote:Just use a 7mm FI hose and 2 hose clamps on the body side.
in this case I would use 7 mm coming out of the tank to the filter, and 5mm coming out of the other end of the filter into the hard fuel line running into the car.

Re: AoT's White Wonder
I used another at the front right under the tank,
now if you're not too crazy about having two fuel filters, you can cut the end of the filter and use the piece you cut off as a step up/step down to used both size hoses

Re: AoT's White Wonder
I repalce my fuel lines once a year, once every two years and I repeat the process all over again, I have all my cars like that becase of either electric fuel pumps or dual carbs with bigger size lines.
