·After installing the engine, I
After installing the engine, I proceeded to replace a fuel return line.....it was split longitudinally at the engine end. Well, what a PITA, trying to remove this hose!!!!!!!! I ended up breaking the nipple off the fuel tank.
Enough of this!!!!!! I had the engine in with only a few bolts, so I removed it. I will replace ALL the hoses, and have the fuel tank fixed. I may as well remove the radiators (all 3), etc., and have them checked out. I plan on removing the oil tank, both fuel tanks, and all hoses.
The fuel tanks will be cleaned and tested, as well the radiators. I will also sand blast, prime and paint the whole area.
I feel this project will take the rest of the year. Oh well, I still have the Boxer.......hope to get it running in the next month.
Anyone know a source of metric fuel and water hoses?
