Does anyone know 100% for certain what size the hose is that transitions from the frame rail fuel line coming from the tank and the line that goes to the fuel filter/pump on a 1980 Volare 6 cylinder?
Thanks!I only remember it being 5/16.
Here is a picture of the valveThe filter has three hoses on it, one hose going to what I believe is the return, which is where the valve do-hickey is.
Sorry, i fixed the pic.I`m not seeing a pic??
With God as my witness, the cap was off and the front end was pointed up hill.....LOLI don’t want to comment on what happened here – but I agree, a person does have to remove or loosen the gas cap, at least partially, for there can be 5 – 10 pounds of pressure pushing down on gas, inside of fuel tank. Remove that pressure and it will level out. Otherwise, the pressure will push gasoline quite a distance uphill.
Also, if fuel tank is full, can also have a big influence on when it leaks – even if car is jacked up, in front.
