Leaking Fuel Line
Got a Holley stuck on a year or so ago & had no problems , ran good etc .
Some time ago ( don't drive much ) the fuel line onto the carb started to
leak.
I remember a thread a last year dealing with a fix .
The connection is a tapered bolt up & the chrome fuel line just doesn't
seal , makes for scary stuff on a red hot BB.
Replies appreciated for a fix .
:cheers:

Re: Leaking Fuel Line (Jarmo)
Wrap the threads with teflon tape. Also, if the fitting is not sealing against the flared tube very well, slide the fitting back and wrap some teflon tape around that too. You won't need much for it to do the trick. Not exactly the best solution, but it has worked on my street rod for over ten years without leaking.
