Re: [doc] fuel tank rebuild help!!

["blackaddertoo" <blackaddertoo@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

Thankyou for the reply.

The only bit that seems serviceable is the wire frame clipped to 
bootom of tank.

Pump is in bits. sender rattles but maybe usable (is the rattle 
normal?)

i understand the filter in the tank at the bottom was not on early 
cars (vin 1621).

By the way, did you mange to undo the bolts from rubber fuel line to 
metal fuel line?
At the moment am ordring a new pump, boot etc. already have new 
filter.
am then going to pump injection cleaner through system, hoping to 
keep accumulator and not take apart fuel distributer as i gather they 
do not go back together?.

Another question!. There is a third pipe which runs along chassis 
next to main fuel lines near tank. just stops. is this an overflow 
for something? looks cut clean and does not seem as if it connects to 
anything.

Car supplier already had removed pump prior to shipping! so don't 
know what else he moved/cut!.

Regards

Steve
