DIY ~ Fuel Tank Breather Tube Repair ~ Jimmy Riggin’ it

They got my Father-in-law’s Exploder running and with a broken fuel gauge who knows how much fuel was in there. So she took it to fill it up. Then noticed that the gasoline was pissing out under the car when the fuel pump clicked off indication it was full. She took it home and parked it. It was still dripping. So she pulled it around the back of their house and it left a nice little drip trail.

My wife asked if her sister brought it by could I take a look at it. Of course I said yes, I mean did I have any other option??

With the ol’ Exploder parked out front for around 45 minutes I went and took a peek. No drips whatsoever... that’s interesting?? So I pulled it up into the driveway and this is what I discovered...

Some sort of rodent must like the taste of rubber and enjoyed huffing some gasoline too.

Well this repair job definitely called for some Jimmy Rigging skills. Time to dig around my garage and see what I can make happen. Check out the video and see what I came up with. That repair should last about 20 years.

Hey, sometimes you just gotta make it happen...
