no gas

Post by Bill K. »

On my wc54 I ran out of gas can blow back to the gas tank from inline filter but can get nothing from tank to filter .
have replaced rubber line by the fuel pump .
Question does the braided line that goes to the original gas canister filter on the firewall have rubber in it ??

Braided Fuel Line has rubber in it, also your original Bendix filter may be plugged.

Suggest replace with the clear aircraft quality fuel line. not cheap but you can see blocks and it is very durable.

Thanks have it running now it was pluged at gas tank but think now I have a vacuum leak in the gas line as the fuel pump bowl gets a shot of air now and then.
Maybe next summer I can put in a new gas line.
Love to drive my wc if it would go faster I would drive it all the time.

Might not be a job to put off. A little gas makes a lot of bang.
