This side quest should be pretty straightforward. I will need to figure out how to repair the missing nipple.
My plan is to clean it up really well and repair the missing/broken nipple at the top right. It is crucial to connect to the charcoal canister in the engine bay.
Update: This was pretty simple. I went to Home Depot and bought a fuel filter.
Basically, I took an off-the-shelf fuel filter and some JB Weld to fashion another nipple to connect the line from the vapor separator to the charcoal canister. After cleaning everything, I sprayed it matte black and lightly sanded the separator.
This was pretty simple. Took about 2 hours from start to finish.
Back to Project Driver and Passenger Refurb: Glass refurb part deux.
Update:
Well, you’re not gonna believe it. I went to fill the gas tank job, and that thing was coming along just now and all… One of the hoses is blue off the bottom of the gas separator, and gasoline started pouring out. I thought I had a leak coming from the floor where the gas tank is located. Total panic!!!
I just happened to be near a Walmart, so I ran inside and got some hose clamps. I tried to squeeze them together, but I didn’t have the right tool, so I’ll have to wait until I get home to fix it. Hopefully, it should be a pretty easy fix.
