Hello all,
My Puma has been parked for ages and I've come back to it now, battery on, no fuel pump prime. Fuse blown, all else fine. Anyway, dropped the tank FINALLY after every single fixture broke. All of them. All four bolts broke the stupid click and rectangular nut system, all the plastic clips broke, all the jubilee clips busted. Anyway, I'll get the pump changed. Tank needs cleaning up, rust converter, sand, prep, paint etc.
What should I do for fuel line? This daft plastic stuff is just crap. As you can see in the picture I've cut some thing off the white thing as I couldn't get it out the tank under the car. That tube went into some box bolted to the underside of the car. Presume carbon filter/breather type deal? I'll fashion a bit of pipe for that no problem. Then we have the fuel feed and return. Those stupid 90 degree stupid ridiculous plastic bits of single use crap. I would much rather get shut and just use proper hose with jubilees.
Can you tell I'm pee'd off!!!! There's nothing going for this car at all, it's a right pain in the arse to do anything and they just rot like hell. But the way it drives makes up for it (I do love it, honest). Think I'm going to cut a hole out under the back seat, not dropping that again!!! I want it to go back in there with proper bloody hardware and proper bloody fuel pipes.
Thoughts, input of any kind very much appreciated. Thanks.
