fuel "tee"
Posted: Wed Nov 07, 2007 1:33 am
I have a brass fuel tee that replaces the original plastic tee on my Zenith Stromberg federal car.
The 1/4" fuel line is slightly larger than the tapered fittings in the carbs. With the hose clamp tight some fuel weeping is experienced.
I replaced the 1/4" I.D. fuel injection hose with 3/16" fuel line hose and it requires a push with slight hose stretching over the carb fittings. Seems to be correct. Unfortunately the "tee" is 1/4" and the hose is streched a bit more than I am comfortable with.
I assume all federal (U.S.) Zenith Stromberg carbs have this "problem".
I need to source a 1/4" x 3/16 x 3/16 brass barb fuel tee. Any suggestions?
