Re: [T3] Fuel leak?

[Matthew Willis <mattwillis@mac.com>]

<x-flowed>So I've found the source of my fuel leak in my 68 Square, although the 
water leak, which seems to be unrelated, continues to elude me.

The fuel leak is the ever-popular overflow hose. Does anyone have a 
line on replacements? The part number is 311 201 179A.

Thanks
