ihateallmustangs Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 A guy at work has a 94 regal. Bascily owning the same car (w-body anyway) he told me he smelt gas when he filled up. His car looked pretty rusty underneath ,and both of his fuel filler tubes were rotted through (pin holes/rusty as hell. Which caused a ton of fuel to leak all over the place. In anycase I gave him a hand patching it up hilly billy style until he gets a replacement. Basicly cleaned it up with mineral spirits , whipped out some body filler and coated the main line as much as possible, then took duct tape and layered it over the bondo then did a few wrap arounds with the tape as best as possible. Its been 3 days and no leak when filling. Somthing to keep in mind if your in a jam and don't have the money/time to get this fixed asap!

hotrodolds Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 One problem with that could be that the body filler comes loose, and plugs up the fuel pump. Yes, it would work in a pinch, though. Nice work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White93z34 Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 A friend of mine bought a 92' Grand Prix off ebay last year that leaked gas when you filled the tank, we drove about 6 hours to go get the thing, found some critter ate through the rubber hose between the tank and filler neck. took some duct tape and wrapped the hose in a target parking lot, and it lasted the drive back home, and a week or 2 afterwards till we could replace it right.
