Fuel leak issues
Posted: Mon Dec 14, 2020 8:44 am
Hello all,
I've been lurking since 2017, but finally got the courage to post a thread.
Having an intermittent fuel leak.
I see my 87 GW spot leaking fuel at the front passenger corner of the coffin when I have above 3/4ths of a tank.
I dropped the tank, stripped, painted, and rattle can bedlined the skid plate before reinstalling when doing the sniper install a little over a year ago. At this time I also replaced the vent check valves and grommets. However, I did not replace the rubber lines going to the vent check valves.
The first time I noticed the leak, I had replaced the gasket on the fuel filler cap earlier that day which had been disintegrating for the past 6 months.
Could this mean my tank is building pressure and pushing fuel past the front vent check valve grommet? I say this because my vapor canister purge valve leaks vacuum. I currently have both the purge signal line and carb bowl vent, (since there's no more carb bowl to vent) capped.
Any and all ideas are quite welcome.
