I'm toying with a total rebuild of the entire system. I suppose I could be totally wrong here, but I feel like there is air or contaminate getting in, which is what is causing my on-again, off-again rough running. Other than that, here is why:
As of now, it is a 1988 V8 system that has simply had the rubber hoses attached at the engine end to run to the cam pump on the block.
So... What are my options? What kind of lines should I get to replace the old metal lines? Do I need a new tank to make a conversion work? Other than the leaks at the gaskets, how will I know if the tank needs to be replaced? Part numbers? All the little things that I'm bound to forget and end up 5 minutes from done, but have to wait 4 weeks for shipping?
- Fuel filler tube leaks at the seams
- Fuel cap leaks
- The seal between the top of the filler tube and the body panel leaks.
- The vent tube leaks
- The top of the tank leaks from where the pump enters.
- The side of the tank leaks from where the sender enters.
- The metal fuel lines along the frame to under the front passenger floor are crusty looking.
- From the metal lines, standard rubber hoses now run to the cam pump on the block, then to the fuel filter.
- The engine starves of fuel while there is still about 5 gallons in the tank.
