73' fuel lines
Hello everyone, New to the board
I have a 73' bronco w/ two tanks, the fuel switch broke apart inside.
I pulled it out. very weird, it has varop recovery lines included in the swicth. I know I can replace w/standard.
Q- what do I do with all the other lines.
The main tank has a -supply line, -a large vapor line(went to swich), -2 sm lines that go to a vapor/liquid seperator canister, and a line at the top of the fill tube.
The aux tank has a -supply line, a lg. vapor line(to swich), -1 sm. line to canister.
The V/L canister has a line that goes to the charcoal canister.
I think I've confused myself again
Anyone familer w/this system, I think it's an emmision thing that I can scrap now.
Oh yea non-vented fuel caps.
This can't be this hard.
Thanx Wade-

Replace the fuel tank selector valve with an identical unit. Keep all the lines in their proper places. It is an emissions system to reclaim fuel vapors. Keep it all in good working order. To rig up another system is more trouble than it is worth. The selector valve also selects the fuel sender etc.

Hmmm, I assume you have checked with parts houses. Have you checked with REAL parts houses like NAPA or CARQUEST? If nobody has a new replacement you will have to do a junkyard search. Many of the scrapyards have a parts locator line that will send out a request to many scrapyards for a part. You can also check with online old truck parts vendors. Check the "Links" section at the right side of your screen. There are also vendors listed in classic truck magazines.
