    Vacu-Tite Vacuum "T"s for Fuel line

    The guys at Checker did'n't know if I could use Vacu-tite Vacuum connectors for the fuel lines. Does anyone know if they are ok to use with fuel?

    I have actual Fuel T connectors on the way from a dealership, but they are a week out and I want to see if this thing will start after being rebuilt.

    I'll bet they will last long enough to fire it up!

        Don't leave 'em there too long. Go to Ace Hardware and get some brass ones.

          Thanks Phil, But I live in the boondocks. People who live in the middle of nowhere come here to get away from it all. I have parts on order from the web and will change these out after I fire it up and see if the engine will run.

          I don't even need to ride it, I just want to see if i have done things correctly or if it is time to start searching craigslist.

              Nearest TrueValue is in Roswell. An hour away. The True Value building has been vacant since I moved here.

              Sorry
