Re: Hot Rod Gods Strike Again
Sorry to hear that. It hurts just to look at the photos. I wonder what ignited the fuel? Exhaust heat or spark? And is there a better solution than an o-ring in that location?
The only engine compartment fuel leak I've ever had was a crack in the factory rubber hose attaching the filter just before a Rochester 2-bbl carb. But even though the intake manifold was covered with fuel, there was no fire. And that would have been less than 5 psi. Makes me want to go 100% hard line from mechanical pump to filter to carb on my 69.
