Title: Well, It Wasn't My Pocket... This Time
Post by: cougarXLS on April 06, 2008, 05:38:14 PM
For those of you who remember I Dropped My Pocket... Literally (http://www.foxtbirdcougarforums.com/showthread.php?t=17634)...
 
It turns out a couple of weeks (actually, a month and a bit) go by and I am now leaking fuel! :evilgrin:
 
I've traced the leak to either the fuel delivery or fuel return line.
 
When I originally replaced the fuel lines attached to the in-tank fuel pump, I could not get OEM lines... and as a result, I had to be creative. Apparently I wasn't creative enough.
 
When I update this thread, I will be able to tell you if it is indeed the return or delivery line...
 
Until then, anybody know either where I could accquire two new OEM fuel lines (return & delivery), or does anybody have a solution that works when buying aftermarket parts... or do I dare ask.... a creative solution?? :bowdown:

Okay, so I finally made it out to the garage and dropped the tank.
 
It is most definitly the delievery line... :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin: !!!!!!!
 
 
Well.... back to NAPA.
 
 
Does ANYBODY know where I COULD buy a set of 'replicated' OEM Ford fuel lines???

Hey all,
 
I seem to be talking to myself on this thread, but hey, I think I got it figured.
 
There are a type of plastic fuel repair lines (of different end sizes) that I can 'melt' together... it works!!
 
WoooHooo!  Tomorrow I will buy the one last repair line I need, the 5/16".... and it will be done!!
 
 
GO COUGAR GO!!!

And in all fairness, I should say, this thread is entirely my own, but not it's sister's thread (http://"http://www.foxtbirdcougarforums.com/showthread.php?t=18924").  And thank ya all there!
 
Btw, I am still looking for OEM fuel lines! Call it shiznits and giggles.

Lol......  I had the most interesting time learning that nylon fuel repair lines sometimes need more than a mere boiling in water... sometimes, they just need a little convincing...
 
But I did solve my own problem... even if I do come off sounding like a 'post w'.
 
LOL

those fuel line repair kits suck to put together. I would have told you to grad some of those air line compression fittings those look like they would be the easy way to get it done. Sorry I didn't see this earlier
