Re: Easy fix for carburetor fuel line leak
Should be steel line. The original gas line is rolled with a seam running the length of the line. This can develop a leak along the seam. This happened to me in 1960 when I drove to Sequoia National Park in my 1930 coupe. I got a gas station to replace the line with a solid steel one. Copper can fatigue and break or develop a leak because of compression of the line when fastening, like what happened to Steve R.
