Guest kgdix2 Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Kent, is that a metal fuel line or is it flexible rubber? Can you post a pix of what you need?Larry,I should have said fuel gauge line. It is about 1/16th inch in diameter. It is broken at the gauge. The gauge seems okay.

f147pu Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 It is a hydrostatic gauge, air pressure in the line created by the level of the fuel in the tank causes the level of the red liquid in the gauge to rise and fall. Go to the Club website Tech page for 7/1/98 for basic information, also ACNs 19,136 and 138 for more detailed stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mkgage Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 You can purchase the copper line, fittings and red dye for the fuel gauge from www.bobsautomobilia.com. He calls it a gas gauge repair kit. He references it being for 29 to 31 buicks, but it is the same as your Franklin uses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
