No fuel smell in this bus...New lower fill tube. This is a cut (about 6 inches) of 2.25" fuel fill hose. There is a slight angle cut at the tank side, then it makes a slight bend. Also, new upper fill neck installed.
All new tank vent line connections. You can see them at the yellow lines. Also, here is one hidden between the spare tire well and rear quarter panel. This one is often missed.
Firewall in and getting peripherals attached:
Fuel tank sending unit hatch installed. This is my personal modification to the Bentley manual's service bulletin to cut the sheet metal and create a recloseable flap. Really? This is much nicer.
Now you can easily gain access to the sending unit. This is a new one.
Starting to install fuel injection peripherals, the fuel pump wiring harness had some hacks (for the aftermarket carburetion fuel pump) that had to be repaired. Wires had to be replaced into the double relay plug (spade terminal clips repaired) and 2 wires had been cut. These were able to be soldered pretty easily and looks nice. This was much faster/cheaper than replacing the whole harness.
Starting to put the fuel injection parts in is SO exciting! :-) Here we have the series resistor block and double relay:
In other news, here is the driver side heat control box. Unfortunately, the cable was seized/rusted into the barrel nut that holds the cable to the control box. It could not be freed and the cable had to be cut. We will install a new left side cable- hoping the old one's sheath is not stuck into the body tube that it runs in front front to back (common and sucks). Cross yer fingers.
Cleaned the rear bumper. The inside is very rusted. No holes though.
:-)
