I took a minute today and pulled the leaking fuel line. My plan was to pressure test it again but there was an obvious burn spot on the braided SS.
I investigated a bit and found the wires that shorted on the line. Looks like some electrical tape came undone and exposed a couple bare wires. This bit of wiring is another lovely thing that makes me want to slap the previous owner/builder.
I don’t understand the laziness in leaving bare wires so long when crimping ends on them…
I can’t totally blame them for this incident. I really should have traced these down and cleaned this crap up when I was installing the EFI. I’ve got some more braided line on the way and should have it fixed up this weekend.
I am extremely thankful things did not get out of control the other night! It certainly could have gone horribly bad in a hurry.
