I thought that I would give this topic a little bump and share what I found on my car. Since I am under the doctors restrictions yet and cannot drive I still go out and putter with the car in the garage. My cell is an 8 gallon Summit with a 6 AN fitting for a vent. It had a 3/8" fuel hose clamped on it,it has been that way since I bought the car. As I was looking it over I noticed that the 3/8" line was almost pinched shut. I removed it and took the fuel cell cap and ring off to tighten the check valve. Thank goodness for 1/4" drive ratchets! I wonder if that may have caused a problem. Also should I put a 3/8" line back on or step up to 1/2"? I noticed that 1/2" line will fit right over the #6 AN fitting. Thanks!! Ted
Ted if it was pinched closed that COULD be 2
things.. either cheap hose or the vac on the
hose is puling it closed.. usually cheap hose
turns soft and its easy for vac to pull it
closed.. if you use EFI hose it has a viton
liner in it and is good stuff.. 1/2"sure wont
hurt but the 3/8 should be fine.. your not pulling
the fuel out at a high rate during a run.. on my junk
running E-85 I would pull 1.25 gal from the pit shot
to the pit spot... that was in a 5 gal cell
