In my last post I started to figure out what the issue was with fuel leaking when the Jeep was running. What I found was the the return line was leaking right next to the sending unit. After taking out the tank twice in the last month for fuel related issues, I came to the conclusion that I should have replaced both fuel lines when I had it out the first time. Hind site is always 20/20. What I did do was create an access point in the back of the Jeep so I can easily get the sending unit without having to drop the tank every time. It did only take me a couple of hours, but it could have easily been fixed on the trail if I would have had the access panel. I will add pictures of the access panel to this post when I get it completed. I only cut the opening while the tank was out. I will add the hinge and the latch later this week.

Since my last update I have encountered some more fuel issues. This time a leak. I have not investigated it yet, but here is the issues that I see. When the Jeep is running fuel is pouring out by the gas tank. When it is not running it does not spill a drop. Since it runs fine and does not have a sputter at all I have to assume it is in the return line at the tank. Since I recently had this apart and had to repair the return line fitting on the sending unit I have to assume it was not a good fix or has failed in some way. Once I get the tank removed I will add more content as to the fix I come up with or what I had to do to get it to quick leaking. (more…)

I attached my Gopro camera to the under side of my Jeep so I could see how much deflection I could see with this new set up.
