EA81 Rear Fuel Line Routing (Need pics)


Recommended Posts

depending on what year tank you ended up with the fittings can be different. if there's a larger fitting or the lowest one, that's the main line. :)

 

the other ones would be the return line and the vent line... which goes around the side and up to the canister in the body...

 

got a decent pic of the fittings?

Whoops. The tank is from a 1983 4WD wagon (100% the Same as mine) So all the fittings are the same.

 

I know about the two 1/4" lines on the right side of the tank that run to the Canister, I need to replace one of the soft lines that run off it, as I cut the old one.

 

I can get some pics, I need to drop the tank again as I forgot to attach the overflow hose to the top of the tank (Whoops lol)

Here are some pictures.

 

First off, does this look correct? I bent all new lines and replaced the rubber, but I forgot how it looked when I took it apart.

This is the line which clips to the tank and runs to the Canister in the fender wall, what connects to this end of it? Maybe it will all make more sense once I get the fuel pump back up.

The other end of that line

This is the front part of the tank, I assume one if Feeler line and the other a return? The 3rd is the line from that canister.

These are the rest of the lines I bent up, I need to know which end this 2-way valve goes on the long u-shaped line.

And the lines which enter the cabin.

If someone have a picture in this view, it would help me see where everything connects.

Thank you,

Good stuff here. Wanted to bring it back from the dead to ask, what kind of metal line do you run when replacing the lines? It looks like the same type of lines I used when I did the brakes on my nova. Can I use metal brake lines? Are all of the metal lines the same diameter?

Yep, steel brake line to replace the steel fuel lines.
