Title: vacuum fuel pump canister
Post by: rwollman on November 10, 2014, 11:44:12 AM
Greetings all - New member here -  working on a 28Q and was having trouble with oil pressure and traced it to the gasket  (vacuum leak) on the bottom of the inner canister in tank mounted on firewall.  Was wondering if anyone had photos or a schematic of this unit as I would like to change the cork floats while it is apart.  Old one(s) in bad shape and am looking for correct size as I believe someone had their fingers in this before me...Pls help if you can

not much to look at right now2 - just got body back on  - doors and fenders off as it was taken out of storage after 32 yrs of sitting - clutch was frozen (throwout brg on tranny snout) but got that taken care of and had clutch disc refaced. now running but needs brake work and will be heading for the painter.
