Hey all!
I have a fairly significant problem with my 85 Fox. A week or so ago, I walked by my car and smelled gas. Did some looking around and I was leaking gas out of the bottom of my Mechanical Fuel Pump. I grabbed a new Holley unit and installed it and was good for a few days. Now it's leaking from two holes in the body of the pump up top??
When I took out the first pump, the feed line from the tank to the pump was spewing gas everywhere! Got it capped and got the pump changed! Took it to the gas station and when I unscrewed the gas cap, you would have thought that I was letting the air out of a Blimp! If the gas cap didn't have threads on it, it would have blown right out of the fill pipe! Tonight, I wanted to pull the feed line off the pump and cap it to stop the leak but before I did so, I loosened the gas cap and same as last time, there was an enormous amount of pressure that vented from the tank! When I pulled the feed line, I got zero gas out of the hose.
To me, it seems like the pressure that's building in the tank is causing the leaks. Any ideas? thanks!
