<x-charset iso-8859-1>Well, it is 2 steps forward, and 1 step back. I replaced all the fuel lines on the '66 today. Tried to fire up the engine, and it was a "no go". I pulled the plugs and checked them, but they looked good. Fairly new Bosch W8AC's. A little sooty, but OK. I replaced them anyway with W8AP's, the newer platinum tipped plugs. It still wouldn't fire up. Up to this time, I have been just using a coffee can back at the engine for a gas tank. With the new hoses in place, I had put about 1 gallon of gas in the tank, and the car is sitting level. I found that I was not getting any fuel from the tank. I removed the gas cap, and blew backwards through the fuel line. It was blocked. I then went to the front, and with the line still off the fuel pump, I blew towards the engine from the tank end. It was clear. Now I tried to blow into the tank, and could get nothing through. Even at 120 PSI!!!!! Looks like I pull the tank tomorrow. The good news is, while under the front, I noticed that the front brake calipers look brand new, and the hoses look new too. -- Russ Wolfe '71 Fastback AT '66 Fastback MT (IT RUNS) russw@classicvw.org http://www.classicvw.org ------------------------------------------------------------------- Too much?
