I went to go start the Cruiser yesterday for the first time in over a year. It wasn't getting fuel. Pump was running. One of the jets was bubbling, but the other was dry. Tapped the jets (which fixed it last time). Called my 350 help line (Fred, Flem you were next ) and left a message. While I was waiting for my lifeline, I replaced the fuel filter in case it was clogged or caked up. Then I realized that the fuel intake tube was sitting at the bottom of the tank. The good news is that I hooked it up and it fired right up. Seems all that thing wants to do is run.
BUT, this line fell of again after just over a year in the tank. The line is supposed to be in-fuel rated line. The tube outside is fine, but the inside turned a little mushy and it fell off the barb at the top of the tank. I did not have a hose clamp on it because it was so hard to get on, I never thought it would come off, even if I wanted it off.
So, for the questions...
Do I just need to hook it back up and put a hose clamp on it or is there something else I should be doing?
For others using fuel cells, what are you using for the in-tank fuel intake? I seem to keep having this issue.
Mine goes down and Ts at the bottom and has the end pieces that close if they start sucking air. It works great on the trail, it just keeps degrading in the fuel.
Seems like there should be a better answer.
