Fuel line leaks.

I have a carbed 308, try he line from the fuel pump to the 1st carb, hard to
get at
Also the one at the fuel filler neck. there is also one that goes back to
the driver's side tank with a check valve. The gasket at,as mentioned, fuel
sending unit.

Any hints of common trouble spots?

He ran by me at the Quail trying to get in...apparently his press people
didn't set him up with the right credentials or something.

I didn't get a chance to watch him race his T70 at Laguna Seca though.

Since we are talking about a car that is at least 32 years old, have all of
the fuel hoses been replaced yet?

How about the infamous fuel filler neck hose?  (between the filler neck and
the left side fuel tank)

Hi Dave -

Replaced the fuel filler neck?  Gulp, not to my recollection and it's been
about 15years since I've had the car.

I sorta looked up in there but nothing jumped out at me from the engine
compartment.

Is that one of those things I have to go thru the wheel well?

I did replace the hoses between each carb but the hoses on top of the
passenger side fuel tank are nigh impossible to get to from engine
compartment.

No hint of leakage but just thinking it through - if it's a mist and not a
puddle - that would equal stinko AND a nice combustible medium, eh>?

Any help is appreciated

Thanks

DOUG

Yup, start with the fuel filler neck hose.  It will look fine when it is in
place.  Give it a squeeze, and all the cracks and splits will show.

Seriously, ALL the fuel hoses need to be replaced..what was the term I heard
here used a decade ago???.....Car-BQ waiting to happen!  J

Yo Doug,Did you recently fill the car up completely? Have you noticed any
seepage or stains around the fuel tank sending uniton top of the L/H tank?
Perhaps the rubber gasket needs to be replaced?Brian
