Re: How to access the fuel tank, 64 Plymouth Sport Fury b body

[Roger Pettigrew <dodger7998@xxxxxxx>]

the fuel sock comes out with the sender,,,,, there is a lock ring holding  
the sender in, just tap the ring with a brass drift pin and it will come off 
and  sender and pickup tube comes out of tank for replacement

Thanks for that Dodger. There is something there (flap) for  sure. I put my
"seasnake" scope in there to look and got it caught, just  about never got 
it
out. I had to brace it open with an socket extension to  keep from pinching
off my siphon hose. I was looking carefully at the front  end of the tank,
could see one connection for the fuel line, another for  the fuel sensor, 
but
could not figure out how to actually access the inside  of the tank, if I
were to have to ever replace the "fuel sock" or float. If  what I'm saying
doesn't make sense, I can post a photo somewhere for you to  look at.

Subject: Re: Contaminated Fuel  Issue?



I have had over a dozen tanks out and never found any  anti splash  device 
in them that being said will continue,,,yes  remove the carb completely  
and 
at least blow out all of the  orifices, and as far as the hose fitting,  
unless it is a terrible  fit, am sure that a hose clamp will take care of  
things,,,,,,,, kind  of doubt that your dual point is defective,  you had
stated 
that  after you got the old gas cleaned out of the secondaries of the carb  
 
that it worked, sounds like more of an issue with contamination from  the
tank  
being low on fuel, you might want to consider also  installing another 
inline

filter at the tank while your replacing the  existing  hose

Questions: 



1. My  parts store guy  told me that if this doesn't cure the problem, I  
should take the carb apart,  empty the floats ( float bowls maybe),  clean
the 
carb thoroughly, try it again.  Does this mean just  taking the top off the 
carb while it's still mounted to the  manifold  or should I take it
completely 
off? Thoughts? Advice? The last time  I  did something like this was about 
45

years ago.  



2. I noticed  that the metal tube coming off the gas tank  to the rubber 
fuel line is 5/16" OD  while the metal fuel line OD is  3/8". I had some 
new 
3/8" rubber fuel line to  replace the old  (probably original) rubber line
that 
joins the gas tank to the   solid fuel line, but didn't use it because it 
just felt too loose. The  solid  5/16" line coming off the fuel tank does
have a 
double  flare on the end, so  maybe I'm just being paranoid, that a 3/8"  
rubber hose rated for gas is just  fine? Appreciate any comments.  



So, my plan to so eliminate fuel  as an issue, going the  route I 
described. 
If that doesn't work, I'll reinstall  the single  point distributor and see 
if that fixes things. If that doesn't   work, well I'm not going there just 
yet. 



Thanks all.  Appreciate  the forum and the sound advice we can get here.
