One end of solid line seized up. Trying to see if it can be cleared. Tried installing again and filter slipped when I was trying to connect. Attached filter to line and reinstalled in bracket. Tightened bracket again. All fuel attachments complete. Power steering pump Repositioned. Everything back in place. Let it run for about 30 mins, no leaks seen. Thank you to all that offered suggestions or encouragement. ---

After letting it idle for 30 mins with no leaks, I moved it out of the driveway and gas started spewing everywhere. Didn’t want to drop tank. Had it taken to a garage with a lift.Found1 of the nylon lines from top of fuel pump going to fixed fuel lines on frame was chewed into. Don’t know why it didn’t show the day before, but it’s fixed now. On to more interesting projects ---

When working on fuel lines, brake/clutch lines etc I usually get better results using a tool called a “flare wrench”. The flare fitting isn’t shaped exactly like a bolt/nut, so a slightly diffeent shaped wrench works better. They come in crows foot style too. > **[3/8 in.
