busycoupe Posted May 24, 2008 Report Posted May 24, 2008 About a month ago I asked for info about taking out my fuel tank. Thanks to everyone, taking out the tank was one of the easiest jobs I have done on my coupe so far. I had a local radiator shop repair the tank. He did a good job, he also discovered that someone had previously patched the filler tube joint with bondo! I guess bondo is gas resistant. Anyway, he removed the bondo and re-soldered the neck. Today I put the tank back into the car. All was going well until I discovered that the fuel line didn't seat tightly into the fitting on the tank. It looks like something is missing. Is there supposed to be some kind of ferrule or thick washer in this fitting? I don't remember anything falling out, but it could have been lost anywhere between my garage, the radiator shop, and back. Help! Quote
greg g Posted May 24, 2008 Report Posted May 24, 2008 yep there is a ferrule that goes around the tube in the fitting. It about the size of a pencil eraser. Do a shearch for ferrule I believe there was a post about finding a reasonable facsimile at the hardware store. Quote
