I'm trying to remove the fuel tank from my '76 Midget so that I can
put a new float in.
When I tried to remove the fuel line from the tank, I tried to turn
the nut connecting the line to the tank and CRACK! It crumbled into
pieces. I hate when that happens, but I can't say it's the first
time.
Anyway, now I have the fuel line connected to the tank with no nut and
I still can't budge the fuel line at all (at least without damaging
it. So I have two questions:
1) There appears to be a washer flush against the tank at the end of
the fuel line. I can't tell if it's part of the tank or the line and
I can't budge it. Anybody know if I should be trying to get this
thing off? Any ideas on how to get the fuel line out at all?
2) Now that I've destroyed this nut, is there an easy way to put a
new one on without having to buy a new fuel line?
Thanks in advance for any insights.
-Bart
