[s-cars] Leaks n Lights

[Michael Lardizabal]

Bil-
 
In regards to the fuel line rot....my first S car had pretty bad corrosion at the same spot especially at the point where it meets the fuel tank.
 
What I ended up doing was scrubbing all the lines with 0 & 00 steel wool, and where I suspected there was going to be eventual rupture I wrapped w/ fiberglass cloth and expoxied to form a strong bond.
 
Then I coated the whole length w/ POR15. 3 coats total w/ about 2 hrs dry time in between.
 
POR15 bonds to whatever its applied to and makes it even stronger....at least thats what the ad says....but its the industry standard . 
 
The repairs I did to my 79 Landcruiser w/ the stuff is still holding good according to the gall that bought it from me years ago.
 
The only drawback is you need to protect yourself from the stuff as it stains your skin black .
 
HTH-

Bill;

I replaced my fuel lines with Nylon 11 flex lines. Fortunately my high
pressure line was OK but the other two were shot, so I used a metal to
plastic adapter at each end and ran all plastic lines. Working good so far.

Haven't had many issues of late, but have a couple that I could use a
pointer or two with.

One is the infamous fuel line leak underneath, by passenger side door due to
corrosion.  I would like a cheesy but permanent fix because that prolly
doesnt exist, but I thought maybe some glop of Permatex then jb weld ?
I've known this was coming as I've been watching the line corrosion there
for some time.  I think it not much more than a pin head now but snow and
salt are on the horizon.

The other issue has also been around for some time and I think is related to
the brake fluid reservoir.  The IC brake light is always coming on when I go
around corners.  I believe it's the fluid float sensor... but can I just
jumper this?  Is it on the top or the bottom of the reservoir?

Other than that the pig travels on and can still motor on past anything in
it's way with ease.  Still rated a supecar, but a 14 yr old one.
