<VV> Vapor Lock - Thanks for the replys

[shortle]

Yes Joe, please post what you find. And when you remove the in tank sock make sure you are very low on fuel as you will be opening up the tank from the bottom. Gravity seems to do a very fast job of emptying the tank. Also be sure you have a new seal for the sender unit before you get started. And the tool for removing the sender unit is a good investment or at least try to borrow or rent one from someone. Good luck.

Also, I'll replace all of the rubber hoses in the fuel line. They're probably old and hard. The fuel pump is pretty old too. I have a couple of good replacement pumps. I'll install one of those. The shrouding is pretty tight around the engine, but I'll check the rubber to make sure it is proving a good seal.
