Dear Tech, Do you have any recommendations on replacing the fuel line(tank to engine) on a 1999 s80? I replaced the line from the tank to the filter this summer. Now the other line has a leak in it. Do Ineed to remove the fuel tank to replace the line? Thank you

 

The pressure line?

It should only go from the filter to the motor if it is the pressure line. If you had already replaced it from the tank to the filter then you should have to replace it now from the filter to motor correct?

 

YesI have, but the line away from the filter appears togo back to the top of the fuel tank. Is this a section that rejoins the main fuel line?

 

Sorry but im not following to well. If it is the pressure line half comes from the tank to the filter. Then the other side of the filter should go straight to the motor.

 

On the new hose, there is a little section(approx. 18" in length)thatrejoins the main pressure hose from the fuel filter.

 

Does it look like it will be in the top of the tank?

If so then you might have to drop it some.

I have only ever had to replace one and it was about 8 years ago.

 

yes it does. Will I have to remove everything vadis recommends(brakes, filler line etc,) or can the exhaust and heat shield be removed and the tank lowered?

 

If I remember correctly drop the exhaust and heatsheild and it should drop down.

But also if you access the hole to replace the fuel pump you might not have to drop it all the way. You might be able to only drop it some and work through the hole.

 

Thanks Tech, I have the fuel pump exposed. Your help is greatly appreciated!

 

Let us know how you make out.
