Advise on Fuel line issues
Hello All:
I am having a leak issue with the fuel line on by 72 LS5. It's basically all stock including the fuel pump and carb (Q-jet).
Years ago, the inlet of the carb was stripped so the PO spliced in some rubber line and an inline fuel filter.
My options are go back completely to the stock hard line or do something better.
For the sake of safety and filtering performance, I prefer to do something better, does any one have any ideas, suggestions that they can offer?
By the way, the leak right now is in the flare where the line meets the fuel pump!
Thanks in advance!
