Re: 1987 Fuel Sender Conversion for LSx Swap
I just added a length of line from the sender to the top of the frame rail and used a Dorman 14689 GM Axle Transmission Tube Vent Breather 1969-2002 on the end and zip tied it to the frame rail.

Re: 1987 Fuel Sender Conversion for LSx Swap
So your tank fumes just vent underneath your truck? How's that work in closed spaces?

Re: 1987 Fuel Sender Conversion for LSx Swap
I just converted my 85 this weekend.
The OEM vent is 5/16. It is now the return line. The OEM return line off the mechanical pump is 1/4. It is now the vent line. The 87 sending units use a 1/4 vent line so it's meant to be! My vent line t's both my tanks in back and goes to the charcoal cannister up front. Working great. |
