Ok guys, I have a couple of very frustrating problems at the moment.
1. Fuel leak: I have a fuel leak at the fuel filter on the inlet side. The fuel looks to be leaking right out of where the filter plugs into the fuel line. I changed the fuel filter yesterday and I bought a pack of universal o-rings to try to fix the problem. I used the same size o-ring on each side of the filter. The out side does not leak at all, but the in side leaks pretty bad. It leaks bad enough that the car totally loses any fuel prime if it sits for a while. If I get it cranked and run it a while, then cut it off and leave it for a little while, when I come back it will act like it's out of gas an struggle and struggle to start.
How do I get rid of this leak? I tried various sizes and combinations of o-rings for probably an hour and a half yesterday until it finally seemed to have stopped leaking, and then today I noticed it is back to leaking again....
Any suggestions?
2. I wired my electric fan up to a switch today, but I'm not sure which direction the fan needs to be blowing in. Should it be blowing toward the engine or toward the radiator?
That's it for now. Thanks for any help!!
