prob a real pain in a$$. my gc2400 looks to be a real b*tch on that yet I have to as hose hard and brittle after 12 years.If the hose cracks and then leaks, how difficult is it to replace the line from the tank?
Right now, any fuel loss is like burning a pile of cash. Last week I put 19 gallons of diesel in my '93 GMC K2500 and paid $108!!! Never in my 73 years have I seen such prices...{{sigh}}
I'm agreeing with you on taking a small loss. It rained yesterday (in Arizona!) so things are too muddy to get work done today. It's nice all the rest of this week and next, so will use up most of the fuel then.prob a real pain in a$$. my gc2400 looks to be a real b*tch on that yet I have to as hose hard and brittle after 12 years.
MF1250 unit uses an approx 8 gallon tank. run it until low take the loss of gallon or 2 when unplugging. the 10$ fuel cheaper than the 20+$ of fuel line and hours of labor.
The plastic nozzle that comes with the tubes of silicone gasket sealer are my go to. They are tapered and fit a variety of hose sizes.Would plugging it work to prevent fuel loss? B
I would disassemble thing first then go to town the way you and stare and compare for exact match.... Pre buying of unconfirmed sizes usually leads to parts that don't work in situation you are trying to fix....Thank you all for the great advise and help!
I plan on using up most of the fuel and lose what is left when I take the housing handle off. I'm going to "the big town" (60 miles away) tomorrow that has an O'Reilley's so I can get o-rings, brake cleaner to clean things up before disassembly, hose clamps, and fuel line just in case.
How do I determine the size of the fuel line before hand? I looked in the Service Manual and it doesn't say, nor does it say where the line goes to the fuel tank.
Thanks again for the help.
