Hello list - Here is my question - it may seem a bit silly but I really don't know the answer. Some of you may recall that a couple of weeks ago I had an issue with a bad fuel line. So I replaced said line from the pump to the plastic firewall fitting - while I was at it I removed that plastic POS and replaced it with a brass coupler with a 5/16 barbed fitting on each end. My question is this: That brass fitting clearly has a bit larger of a diameter on the inside than the stock plastic fitting. So my twisted little mind was wondering if that additional "space" could cause a change (drop) in fuel pressure? If it does would it be enough of a difference to notice in the way the bus runs or fuel consumption? Like I said I could be off base with my little theory but I thought I'd ask those of you who could tell me if I'm nuts or not. -- Thanks, Jeff '90 Carat (Grover) '86 (We call this one Parts) '78 Bus (Melissa) Patty's Bus |
