Re: Leaking Fuel Pump Diaphragm?

Getting ready to try to figure out the fuel line routing to my electric pump.
Thought it might be too close to the transmission crossmember but a short piece of rubber fuel hose will slide right over the top of the crossmember to meet a hard line.
...so far so good.
Pinched the short rubber fuel line from the tank to the beginning of the hard line with vicegrips and cut the line.
Fuel started pouring all over me and the floor?!?
Thought it was just residual fuel in the line from the mechanical pump up front so I allowed it to drain out...but it continued.
Turns out I cut the fuel line on the wrong side of the vicegrips and the tank was draining out all over me.
Decided right there and then that I don't want a woodstove in the garage for heat and I'm done tinkering for tonight.
