Have a 1979 242 DL that is running and driving. However it has a fuel leak somewhere b/t the tank and drivers seat. There are multiple spots with fuel drips on the metal fuel line itself and I figure it is one leak running down the lines. The rubber hose coming directly out of the tank looks in intact and dry. That rubber hose goes for only about 4? then comes to a metal junction which is all rusty (but still dry). I can?t see any signs of leaks above the fuel pump mount/ tray. The leak(s) appear to be forward of the main pump, but can?t confirm as there is a small drip bt the pump and tank.
The auto stores are almost useless when it comes time to parts and info, does anyone know what size fuel lines I need to get to make sure I do not alter PSI, etc within the lines? Anyone done this and have pointers? I am figuring it?s best to replace the entire lengthy of fuel line?
Thanks in advance ya?ll! See the photos one for random inspirations and the others of the fuel leak. Photos don?t do a great job of showing!
