K7000 Posted August 27, 2013 Author Share Posted August 27, 2013 Ok...i was p**sed for a while now but at the same time i started to think about a solution for my problem.So i decided to replace some more parts, before the next problem shows up. Masterplan:- find a replacement fuel tank- install new fuel lines Talking about fuel lines...instead of getting regular stiff fuel lines, i was thinking of getting flexible ones: 304 stainless steel flex braid on high quality nitrile rubber hose...easy to cut with a hacksaw for custom installation. Plus, they exceed all OEM specifications and are approved for use with all types of gasoline, diesel fuel, and octane boosters. Main benefit: flexible lines are easy to install under the car...!!! That's my idea so far...has someone installed flexible fuel lines before...??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverhawk Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 damn rust but thankfully you found it and will fix it otherwise was wasting fuel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fyfie5 Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 my dads aerodeck had quite a bad fuel leak at one part where the line had rusted. Took it up to the garage and he replaced it with a flexible fuel line and said it will last longer and its what all the modern cars have!

K7000 Posted January 21, 2014 Author Share Posted January 21, 2014 Long time no see My slomo project actually is more like a time-laps project...!!! I had so much other things to do and no time for my Aerodeck.Ok...but family comes first. I'm still driving around with the rusty hole in my fuel tank...it works as long as i'm not filling up the tank morethan 50 %. The "new" tank is waiting to be installed...all rust removed and painted with rust protection color. Still more than enough to do on my daily...!!! Hopefully i can get some more things done during the winter period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K7000 Posted January 23, 2014 Author Share Posted January 23, 2014 Thx @ all...i need to get the tank fitted next month - so i can move on with the next things that need to be done...!!! Next important point in my ToDo list: remove rust from all chassis / suspension parts and paint or powder coat everything. My biggest goal for 2014 would be to get a new paintjob for the car and a replacement engine...!!! My current engine doesn't sound like it's going to live forever...knocking valves even after 2 times of valve adjustment...???Otherwise the engine runs great...does not need much fuel and oil...good acceleration. Weird...any ideas...??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krzys Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 What grade oil are you using and how many miles/km's has the car got? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
