So shouldn't there be if the vac line is leaking? It still sounds to me like the floats aren't set correctly still? And why again am I supposed to replace the vac line if it had gas in it? Is it b/c it's not made for gas and gas will eat it up?
Thanks

the OEM vac-line is junk tubing... about the cheapest available.. the wall is very thin, it wants to kink, collapse from the vac, and basically just barely does its job when new(that's why it's covered with a spring, to protect it from abrasion, and prevent it from taking a radius that will kink it).... any degradation from the gas at all, and it becomes a sieve... decent vac line is about 20 cents a foot.... cheap insurance, no?
