it's the check valve... Posted by jdlincoln [Email] (#640) [Profile/Gallery] (more from jdlincoln) on Thu, 3 Apr 2008 17:04:31 In Reply to: 1997 Aero, long cracking when cold...., oferrero, Thu, 3 Apr 2008 09:25:23 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
on top of the fuel pump, under $20.00, unless you have found something else. Problem is, if it's the check valve, (the white one), it's NOT that easy to replace. You need caution here, including disconnecting the battery and using a spark-free heat gun to soften the tubing. The one you need is the white one. And paitence installing it.
A flaring tool works really well to hold the tubing after you have cut off the bad check valve while you re-heat the inlet fuel tubing to accept the new check valve. Go slow, 1mm at a time, have lotsa patience, or lotsa beer, and after 3 or so re-posisions of the flaring tool,(downline) you will have reconnected the new check valve to your old hard gas line. Kinda like the first time, if you know what I mean.
