What are you working on today?

Extremely busy 4th for me. The old saying “there’s no such thing as a holiday when you’re self employed” definitely rang true.

Started out putting the 6ft tiller on our Allis Chalmers 5045 and hauled it up north of town to till a future wildflower bed for a customer. Then grabbed my lowboy and moved the manlift that I moved last week back home since their job is complete. Fixed a taillight on my Ford Transit and did an engine oil change and transmission drain and fill.

Yesterday, I finally had a bit of time to tend to the Camaro. Last week when I backed it out of the garage, I noticed a substantial fuel leak located under the bell housing.

There's only a few places in the back of the engine where fuel could be leaking from; pressure regulator, fuel rail cross-over tube or cold start injector hard line. I rigged up a jumper wire and momentary switch, and ran the fuel pump (engine off) thru the ALDL to see if I could locate the leak. Nothing visible, although there was a faint fuel smell.

When I get the time, I'll have to run the engine and see if there's a leaking injector(s) but this is unlikely to cause the amount of visible leakage.

Letting vehicles sit for long periods is not good for them.
