DutchEdwin Posted April 20, 2010 Report Posted April 20, 2010 The fuel line inside the tank from the pick up filter was broken. To repair this I drilled out the out going fuel line (the nut to clamp the line was frozen). Drilled it 0,01 inch larger then 5/16. This will allow solder to flow in the space between the line and the hole when soldering. Took a copper brake line of 5/16. Did bend it in a way that when the line rests on the bottom, in the middle of the tank in driving direction. The end of the line will be about 7/16 above the bottom so no water etc. will be picked up from the bottom. I left the tube open at the end, so not squeezing the end and drill it open from the side. By keeping the end open you are able to free it when it gets clogged in the future. (see picture). Took the tank the the radiator shop and had it fixed. Ex cleaning was $50 for labour. The cleaning was free in my case because they promised to do fix and cleaning in 3 days, took them 2 week. Quote
