Re: My 88 MkIV with 9k miles...
Originally I had the fuel return line that was cracked. Fuel was leaking and creating a 3" puddle of gas if I turned the key. I relaced most of the rubber with new FI lines (tank to filter, filter to pump, pump to hard line, return line to tank) from where the metal fuel lines come out of the frame (in front of the rear end). Leak is gone but still a slight smell. No wetness. Maybe the trunk got gas in it?
Is it worth investigating the vapor valve? I can turn it by hand, is that normal? It's a pop in part isn't it? I suppose the rubber seal could be bad.
Any tips on getting the tank about 1' forward? I don't think I can change the valve without moving the tank. I've removed the rear bulkhead before but what's keeping the tank mounted?
Any tips would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thank you.
