When I bought my1972 FJ40 about a year ago, I had a local mechanic replace all the belts, hoses and such as is had been sitting for years. After a few weeks on a stand cleaning the frame and replacing the wheels/tires, I thought I'd take her for a spin.
Before I closed the hood after cranking it up, my son pointed out a "fluid leak". Seems there is a hole or split in the line that connects the metal piping from the fuel pump to the weber carb. Needless to say I quickly cut off the engine instead of closely studying the exact point at which gasoline was spewing from the hose! So much for trying out the new wheels.
Are there any particular specifications for this fuel hose that I should look for or should I just go clamp on another hose that looks like the last one?
