the nightmare continues, gas leak. Diagram for fuel system anyone?
So, after i had brought my car in a shop they had mentioned that the passenger side was leaking gasoline. I wasn't aware of this and cannot smell it since my bad sense of smell. Does anyone have a diagram for the fuel lines for the Audi 90 Quattro sport 12v AFC. Thank you!
Well, i inspected it myself by glancing under the car. after i got back from a drive. I don't think ill be driving the car till i get a better look because i can see gasoline has leaked and spread. It's rather close to the exhaust and i dont want any mishaps happening while driving. I carry a fire exhauster but i hope i never have to use it. Would you know how hard it would be replacing it?
Btw the link helped. if i do need to replace the lines, witch i do think so far apon glance. (i could see it dropping) what is the diameter of the lines? if you happen to know or anyone else.
Find out exactly where the leak is. Could be one of the sledge crimps rather than a corroded metal line. You have to identify the fault and then do the repair.
Find the leak and take a picture..post it and then we can fix it.
Here are the pictures today, i took a few hopefully there well enough to see whats going on.
The leak is more towards the front and the rust is usually around the rubber mounts (I live in NY, salt on roads) aswell as were the line starts from the hoses. I was thinking of using break line to replace them if i needed to replace the entire lines. Other wise id try to get away with hoses.
This is towards the front, it seems to be leaking here the worst
Also here, it is a bit damp.
fairly dry but just a little wet.
Seems to me the only stretch thats good.
A closer look at the front
Wow, those fuel lines are crusty. NAPA should have the hard metal fuel lines. I would not use brake lines..they are too small. I will do same research on a good repair.
Thank you for the advice, I was thinking break lines after searching the internet for common repairs but was going to try to find one in the same diameter if i could. I didn't realize NAPA sold metal fuel lines but i still need to figure out the diameter of the lines. I don't have a tool to do so, if anyone knows it would be nice, otherwise ill bring part of it to NAPA or auto-zone or whatever and make sure. Also need to purchase a tool to bend the piping. Thank you for your advice again, it is very much appreciated Rusty Spokes. The shop said they would charge me $180 USD to repair it for me. Is that seem worth it or am i better off just doing it myself? Or is 180 worth the potential headache?
if they are willing to replace ALL of your lines for $180, i would let them deal with it, but it all depend if they can do it right or not. but if you have the space to work on this and don't mind spending about a day underneath your car, go for it, but at least you'll know that it was done right. basicly what I'm getting at is, its not that hard of a task, its just annoying
