Man, I can not catch a break with this car. I already have what I need to go carb'ed but figured since the thing is built already I would see what I do with the TPI. Anyway. Here is the deal

I got everything finished up last night(after 2 years the car 95% finished), but didn't want to start the car due to me being tired & the fact that it was 2AM. WELL..Low & behold this morning we wake & my wife is like "did a gas can spill in the garage last night"? I say no why & she is like don't you smell all the fuel in the house? So I went out to the garage & WOW!!! there is about 1/2 gallon of fuel on the floor. I JUST F****NG WASHED & SCRUBBED THE DAMN FLOOR TOO!!!

I looked at where it is coming from & the break is located right behind the passenger door where the fuel line makes the crazy 90 deg U-BEND & then goes up the side. I am not going to repair the line again( I already did from the supply line coming out of the tank & the first 3 bends around the tank).
The only problem is NO ONE makes repo & used is just as bad.


SO, my question is. Does anyone know of a company the specializes in repo lines? I just cannot spend another 6-10 hours( if not more) making new lines for this car. My body will not let me. I am physically exhausted & for me to throw in the towel right now is just stupid. But, I just cannot physically afford to do this.

Any help out there? You just don't know how appreciated it would be.

 

What about removing the pressure off the system (remove cap, pull Fuel Pump fuses, start and run engine until it starves of fuel. Then clean the area where the leak is and patch it with JB Weld.

 

I was about to start the engine for the first time this morning. Eveything on the car is new. Trans, diff, engine, fuel pump, fuel tank, radiator, hoses, ect..

There is no FP as it all bled out overnight with the leak. I actually pinpointed the leak better & it is coming from the line where it is surrounded with the metal wrapping( I forget what it is called) to protect it from being crushed( it's the only spot the fuel line runs under the car below the actual body of the car) . I'm not sure what caused it to leak, but ther lines have been dry for over 2 years( blew out with compressed air & then capped tp prevent dirt from entering) & show no signs of corrosion. I guess when I finally pressurized the system, that was the weakest link. My one beef with fixing this leak is...i'm sure there be more. If the line where it is leaking looks fine how can the rest of it be internally...GRRR


I may just do stainless line. I don't have to take hours bending it but DAYUM it will be expensive.
