FUEL LINE BROKE ON WAY TO CLASS THIS MORNING
MY fuel line broke off the fuel regulator on the way to class, left me stranded. it cost me turning in a paper late and missed another class. come to find out when we put the line on,(braided lines) the hose was broke about one inch from the top. this is kinda scary, wonder how long i have been spraying fuel on the motor. the motor only has 322 miles on it, dont know how this happened. talk about bad timeing.[&o]

yeah i know how that feels but i had it worse my engine lit up cause of it in a gas station parking lot. and the *** hole in the garage walked out really slow with the fire extingwisher across the parking lot which was about 150 feet away. just let my car burn. and then he told me to get away from my own car that i wasnt aloud to check anything over in his parking lot and he was going to charge me 50 bucks for every day my car sat there.
that is what my hood looked like after it happend i had pics of my carburator and my engine on my phone but it broke

it was an old *** guy i didnt feel like breaking his hip didnt think it was worth it . i got a new carb and all the hoses and wires for free from my speed shop over here. i took the manifold off and cleaned it up and cleaned it out. car runs great now. well other than my fuel pump failing last weekend and the car still sitting in my driveway cause i have no money. that fire almost made me sell my car but rick the owner of the speed shop said its like buying a house, if the roof leaks your not going to sell it you fix it and move on so thats what i did. he even came out to my house cause i couldnt get my car running after putting the manifold back on. the guy is awesome really knows his stuff
