- September 08, 2016, 16:10:25 PMHi, so I've been away a bit, and playing in the garage a lot.
I've been working on a vibration issue, something I posted a little while back (I'll follow up if this pans out). Someone had suggest a fuel/fuel filter issue, which seemed to have some merit - there's rust in the tank (someone sadly had probably not stored properly), and what came out of the fuel filter wasn't pretty.
So as I was contemplating treating the tank (which has a few scratches, soft dents, and the aforementioned rust), I came across a brand new one, factory sealing, box, but with a dent, maybe a dealer take-off of some kind. Knowing someone that could fix the dent (he did so perfectly), I bought it. And I am thinking all kinds of awesome thoughts.
So I'm swapping everything out today and noticed something. The NEW tank has TWO vent/evap lines at the back, the OLD one has ONE, and another line that strangely went to the cap on the sending unit. I placed the sending unit cap on the old one for a visual.
Now I wish it was as simple as just placing both lines at the rear of the new tank (they are different diameters, the sending unit cap line being larger), but I don't think I could be that lucky. Or if I am, please tell me so. Do I cap one off? I was in the shop manual, it shows two lines at the rear, but not what I have. Strange.
I was grateful for all the advice on the previous post, and would welcome any here. I'd love to get this back together again soon.
Thanks so much (in advance).
