Older units check your fuel lines February 10, 2005, 12:52:34 pm Yahoo Message Number: 50614Good greetings to all, Just want to relay a maintainance tip. Just finished changing the rubber like fuel lines on my 95 Chevy FL, I pulled her out to take her for some exercise and while doing my usual walk around check, noticed fuel dripping underneath from the tank area. A check indicated the high pressure line was leaking . The chevy has steel lines for the length of the vehicle, but a 2 ft.rubber composite one from the steel line to tank. There was no way to access it without dropping the tank. I emptied the tank, unstrapped and dropped the tank. The old lines were cracked and deteriorated so off they came. I previously changed the all belts and hoses at the engine but did not think to check the rear fuel lines. Glad I was at home. It took me about 4 hrs. Just in time too as it supposed to get cold here in Miami. I try to stay indoors when temps get down to the 50's. ;*).Ramblin Roy 95 Silver 22' Fl

There was no way Our '83 has several ss sections along the frame, each join with a rubber jumper, in both the supply and return lines. Perhaps they changed for later models, but you might want to double check. I had worked on ours for 11 years before I recently discovered that.Steve
