Re: Help me eliminate strong fuel vapors in garage
I had a chance to get under the truck and did a bit of investigation.
- there’s no fuel smell inside the cabin
- the short stretch of soft line between the tank and the hardline under the cabin looks to be in good shape, no leak there.
- hardline under the truck looks fine.
- now the soft line leading up to the fuel pump is in terrible shape… very old and soft. There’s evidence that there was a leak under the fuel pump at least at some point. I’ll replace that soft line as soon as possible and I’m thinking maybe I should replace the fuel pump too for good measure. You can see there was a leak under the fuel pump (could be that soft line or it may be the pump weeping)? I ran my hand under the fuel pump, brought it up to my face, and it was strong scent of raw fuel.
How involved is a fuel pump swap in one of these 250s? I see the are pretty cheap on RockAuto.
