check your fuel lines

I found the source of the fuel leak that was located above the left side of the trasnmission mount. A steel fuel line was chaffing against the side of the transmission and finally wore through. I am lucky to have caught it in time as the leak became massive in short order. Its a good idea to get under their and have a look around.

Does anyone know if these tubes can be fabricated at a speicialty hose/tube shop. I don't know how special the end fittings are until after I remove the assembly. The tube leads from the near the trasmssion mount to inside the engine compartment and terminates at the accumulator or filter (not sure which yet). Thanks.

Thanks for the headsup Walt. Will check it out.

I have found 2 SC's with this problem. In both cases it was caused by catching the fuel line during powertrain removal.

I think the fuel line is 8mm or 5/16" is close. You can reuse your old fittings and flare the new pipe.

I had the same problem on my 930. Caught it just in time.

The one on my '69 down there somewhere was perforated very slightly from corrosion...
