This morning as I was getting the T-Tops off my Z28 I noticed a gas small and a major gas leak coming from the passenger door arear towrads the back of the door. I think it's a fuel line but when I checked it looked like there was gunk and crap coming out with the gas. I ran a can a fuel cleaner threw the gas tank about a week ago. So not sure if the lines were blocked. I was having touble with gas flow. But I thought it was the carb and cleaned that. Seemed to run better. But I think with this new discovery is the problem I was looking for.

I have a diagram I got off line and I think it's #4(Clip-Closed Type 5 Tang) Or maybe just that piece of line.

Just wondering how I should handle this? Haven't worked on fuel lines too much.

BTW - All the help I got from all of you guys has helped me out a ton. I have been having a blast fixing this car up.

It would be best to replace the entire fuel line from front to back. If it's that bad to have rusted through, the rest of the line is probably in sad shape as well. The crud you see might be coming from inside the line, but it could also be rust and dirt that's getting washed off the surrounding area as the gas flows.

 

x2 on Camaro 69. You can run an aluminum line all the way along the back and front frame rails to the engine. You might want to go with 3/8ths if you do that, so it will feed future engine upgrades. I put a sump on my tank and ran a 1/2" line to a junction with my stock 5/16ths. The stock line runs off a mechanical pump, and the 1/2" runs off an electric actuated by a WOT switch. Haven't had a fuel delivery problem since.
