Awesome idea!! At first I thought that the old gas I pulled out initially was colored from varnish. I think that the red color is actually tinting from the failed lining, and that the sock itself is clogged with chunks of said dried snake oil.
I didn't think about
That that is what happened here makes total sense...there is really nothing else to account for the type of blockage I am experiencing, unless the coating flaked off AND rusted underneath.
Yes, thank you. I ran a test last night, and it is really looking like a tank issue. Another post suggested that the lining may have degraded to block the sock, and that makes a lot of sense.
This tank has been a tremendous consumer of time and comprehensive source of aggravation(Edit...
Yes, thank you. The pushrod is 3.16 inches, within tolerance. Like the pump, I contemplated getting another, but have read aftermarket pieces have issues. I ran a test last night using an external electric pump, and it struggled mightily to get a tiny amount of the 8 gallons in the tank out...
In what way are you thinking the float can be in play? I have been holding off pulling the sending unit as it has been an incredible and repeated ordeal with leaking. I did just learn that Permatex has come out with a sealant for this application.
Hello all,
I am writing about an issue of fuel starvation in my 1974 383 Challenger.
Background: The car had not been run in quite a while, as I spent the winter rebuilding the front suspension. I had a suspicion that the gas in the tank had gone bad, so I did a test start/run by...
Thank you for your response. The tear was much worse looking once it came out, and am glad I changed it.
Good idea, I have the backs yet to do, and will flush at the dot 3 out.
Thank you, the kits are stupid cheap on Rock Auto.
Thinking about it, would you be old enough to remember how auto parts stores used to use caliper pistons as ash trays on their counters? Ours did!! :)
Accidentally dropped this Caliper and noticed a tear in the boot. Do you guys think it is acceptable for install, repairable as it sits, or fatal and must be replaced?
Most kind
Hello and good day,
I have a question for the group on my torsion bar installation. I have a 74 challenger, which originally came with a 318/904, and I replaced these with a 383/727.
