Went by the gas station to fill up, and put in about 16. gallons, as she was pretty dry. Too dry, but without a gas gauge or odometer right now, it's tough.
Anyway, I pull into our squadron parking lot (1 chain link fence and 2 lane road away from several B-52s). As I walk into work, I notice a trail leading around the corner and I follow it all the way back to my FB. I checked it out, and it was gasoline...
I look under the car expecting a problem with the tank, but found the culprit being a fuel line in the engine compartment. I freak out, as my headers get pretty hot. I get a couple of buds to help me push the FB out from over the pool of fuel, and call the fire department, and ask them to dispatch the trucks... They show up, and by that time I'v realized the secondary fuel line running to my engine compartment, which used to have a little metallic red cap on it, has come uncapped.
By that time the firemen have arrived, and they task their lowest ranking (poor guy) to lay under the car plugging the fuel line with his finger while I went to get a cap for it. AutoZone is right outside the gate, so it wasn't long. Capped it and all was well. Just $15 lighter on gas without any associated fun.
Why would anyone run two perfectly good fuel lines to the engine compartment only to cap one off? Is it for a dual carb or something?
