Fuel pump leak

Post by armystronggr »

If the vacuum line from the manifold to the fuel pump is leaking, would that also stop the flow of fuel. This is on a M38

The fuel and vacuum pumps operate independently of each other.

What is leaking from which vacuum line?

The one from the manifold was install by a mach. and I discovered that the flare was only hand tight. But then the pump stopped pumping fuel. I took the pump out and depressed the thong by hand and it seem to be working.
