Fuel Leaks - need some helpful advice
Hello all, I have not been on here in quite some time. I have had my ups and downs with my 87 TII and finally got everything put back together and running after a small gas fire in my engine compartment. Apparently I did not get everything sealed up tight when I put it back together and I now smell gas again.
So this weekend and next week I will be ripping the top off the engine once again to replace and reseat all the components of the fuel system.
Here are my questions. Parts? I am guessing that I am going to have to redo all the "O" rings and hoses (although the hoses should be okay since they are new.
There is a fuel valve operated by vacuum that I think regulates the pressure to the injectors (and determines how much of the fuel is recycled in the bypass). Is this a common part that I can find? (I think I remember this being on the end of the fuel "tree" as I will call it (you guys remember, it holds the injectors in place and has a main fuel passage through it).
Please be kind to someone who has not been in here for awhile. I will do the search, etc. later today when I have some time. I know that this has probably been addressed a few hundred times before, but when you are out of the loop for awhile things tend to get fuzzy.
Good to be back...
