Rookey mistake. I convinced myself that the source of my gasoline =
smell
was a bad gas line somewhere, the previous owner also suggested this =
was the
problem, so I went and ordered gas line kits to replace the lines... =
without
first checking things out. So I was all ready to take the =
plunge
and re-do my gas lines but when I finally got
under there all the lines were fine. When I located the source of =
my gas
leak it was the tank itself (on top) and not the fuel lines. Anyone =
want to
buy some fuel line kits?
Joel Walker pointed out that since my '80 is
aircooled and air-heated. There is a really big tube that runs =
from the
rear heater boxes all the way up front, right over the top of the fuel =
tank. I need this tube, or I'll freeze in cold weather.
Since watercooled buses do not need the tube, the South =
Africans did away with the gap where the tube went to gain the extra =
capacity.
I am actually pretty sure he's 100% on the mark with this, but I'm =
hoping that
an aircooled owner will tell me they've already done it and it works, =
any
takers?
