Fuel Leak

Post by shotstew »

I have a fuel line leak coming from an almost inaccessible place in the engine. Closest I can tell it's on the left side close to the fire wall. Does anyone have a fuel line diagram for the 86 3.5L?

Thanks all in advance.

Dear no name,

Welcome,

As I have an m6 it might be a little different, anyway the fuel hard metal lines cone into the engine compartment under the brake bomb,
I had to remove the brake booster to get myself into that area.
There are 2 hose clamps at the junction of the hard line and the rubber hoses fuel line + return line.

Best,
