hi, all.
i believe i am close to a solution. yesterday i drove the car, and it
sputtered to a stop. i undid the fuel line before the pump, and let the gas
run out for a bit, put it back together, and it ran. i was convinced there
was something in the line somewhere that was stopping up at the filter.
thought maybe i had it.
today i ran again for about 20 minutes, just back street sort of driving.
and true to form, it sputtered to a stop. undid the line again right at the
filter (actually before it), but nothing ran out, just a few drips. shook
and rocked the car a couple of times. nothing. popped the gas cap and
heard the sound of air being sucked suddenly in. the gas ran freely onto
the ground.
suddenly it hit me that i had heard that sound many times recently while
filling up. and it clicked with the lister's advice to check the vent line.
i do believe i have a problem with the vent line, so everything's coming out
again asap. when i redid the gas lines, i ignored the vent lines. after
all, that was just air and couldn't affect anything . . .
hope this helps someone else some day.
