Re: [MBZ] Update on the 116
Tank is installed back in the car. I probably should have ordered new hoses for the line out of the tank and from the pump to the supply line they do not appear to have been leaking, but they are also stiff as a board. I will see what they cost and how soon I can get them. The return lines and vent lines are dry rotted and need to be replaced but it’s just regular hose by the foot.

[MBZ] Update on the 116
After a couple of days alternating using a speedo cable, stiff roll of copper wire. And 130lbs of air pressure I finally cleared the return line. I was about to throw in the towel and order a new line (which appears to still be available), I applied the speedo cable on the drill and bit more, then decided to try air one more time. It seems like it was still plugged solid when suddenly whatever was in there shot out the other end hitting shop wall like bullets. Line is clear! I can now blow air or carb cleaner thru it. I filled the line up with carb cleaner again and I think I will just let it sit overnight to help further clean the line out. I think I might go ahead and lower the car back down and install the tank, then finish hooking it up later while the lines sit and soak.
