I smell a fuel leak

 Hmm Fuel on the drive way. That's not good.

During the week I backed the mustang out of the garage to test some new gauges I purchased. During the testing I found that there was a smell of fuel and then noticed fuel dripping from the fuel pump that is located on the side of the motor. I grabbed a few pics and send them to Nev to confirm that the fuel pump was on its last legs. Sure enough, it was leaking from the join in the middle of the pump.

After a few phone calls and a bit of internet searching, I found the price for a new pump at Rare Spares was the best price. So off to Roxbrough Park to pick one up.

The install of the fuel pump, although slightly hindered by the power steering pump, was a relatively simple task made much easier by having the car at home and cold rather than the fuel pump failing on the side of the road somewhere. I have now replaced all the rubber hoses associated with the fuel line, the fuel pump and the car was fitted with a new fuel tank before I picked it up. So hopefully, no fuel issues. in the future.
