She's Running But...

She's leaking out of her Accelerating Pump Assembly

New Filler Neck and Hose...Why Not?

You figure you have a new fuel line, tank, fuel pump and filter so you might as well order a new Filler Neck and Hose. Well, funny thing-the holes don't always line up. So we may be drilling soon. As you can see in the top picture, it's just barely off.

Fuel Line-Way easier to put in

So after we had already removed pretty much everything in the way, putting the new fuel line in was pretty easy.

Fuel Line Replacement-Everything Else

We had to continually remove items to get the fuel line out. This started with the muffler, then the left rear tire, then the left rear shock and finally the E-Brake...

The only picture we took of this was where we removed the E-Brake. Make sure you have it released so that there is no tension when you go to loosen this cable.

Fuel Line Replacement-brackets

Alright, so there are two brackets on the fuel line that you have to pull back the carpet on the inside to get to. One is pretty close to underneath the back seat and the other is up near the back side of the front seat. The only way to get at these two (once again) is to pull back the carpet and get at these brackets with a pair of pliers (top picture). All of the other brackets are pretty straight forward.

Fuel Tank Install

For the new fuel tank we cleaned up the area that the old tank sat on (finding the original ivy green underneath) We prepped the fuel tank site by applying a Rust Stop type of product and plumber's putty. Now we have the fuel tank in, so next step will be the fuel line.

New Fuel Sending Unit

Here are some pics of the new fuel sending unit. It's pretty easy to install, it can only go in one way. The are no special tools for the retaining ring (so it was back to the old hammer and screw driver method).
