[QUOTE="Ironhand, post: 10681954, member: 32955"] Small update: I fixed the leak after the fuel filter and put the key on and found another 4 fuel leaks! 3 at the regulator which I couldnt get to. So off came the filter, maf, inlet tube, TB, and the crusher inlet. Now that was a pain! I fixed the 3 leaks at the regulator. One was just a simple tightening the o-ring fitting and the fitting to it. The other was a really weird stray cut on my return line and it was just below the fitting. I cut it and put the fitting back on and that solved the problem. Now for the fun part. The last leak was the middle -6 line at the 3 into 1 Y-block. After taken a 3.69 a gallon shower in E-85 I was able to drop the tank(again) then take the return line off the tank, the outside line and the middle line that had the problem. Once the line was removed I cut the hose off the fitting and found that the rubber hose on the inside had split from the beginning of the hose just inbetween the 1st and 2nd barb. I was able to load my start up tune since the car has power. And just as a test, I pulled the power wire for the fuel pumps and tried to crank the car. It actually had enough juice to kick the big motor and blower over for the first time. It obviously didnt start but it showed life for the first time. Tomorrow I will put the car back together and fix the fuel system, hope the car will fire early tomorrow given no other problems. [/QUOTE]
