Subject: syncro fuel line replacement ques
Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed
hey all,
it tis time for the fuel line replacement on my 87 syncro westy. i ordered
the kit from ken and it should be here in a couple of days. here is my big
question: my leak is from the connection of one of the gas lines coming out
of tank and going to a 2 inch metal connection then on to the "t" by
distributor. the leak is from the first connection about 8 inches out from
tank. well how do i replace the line coming out of tank? do i have to
remove the gas tank which would in turn mean pull engine and lower tranny?
it seems to me that those two lines from gas tank only go a couple of inches
behind the firewall, well those couple of inches are very tight and i cannot
get anything back there. could i just cut my line where it is leaking and
extend the connection to fresher hose? or what? i don't see how this is
going to be "easy" like so many have said about replacing the gas lines.
tia
