Folks were wondering about a few things in the comments below. Troy was out sick today. The other fella is my friend from Michigan. Aaron is a Ford Senior Master Technician. Check out his channel HERE kzbin.infoRUbSn1-3XeM?si=BbKL6l_NP5X4xgMl

Reported fuel leak but I guess I will take it for a drive and see if it starts a fire.😂

[@williamfindspeople4341]

Holy crap. Hope you took fire Extinguisher with you, so you won't have to replace the car when it catches fire 🔥 😜

[@ryulee458]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@robertsturtevant6185]

😂😂 thats @Rainmanray…..

[@boelensds]

It leaks so means tank is full of fuel. lets drop it on the road before working on it. Ray ways of thinking.

[@bradjames3555]

You didn't put it back in the air and check for leaks on your fittings after restarting ze auto.

[@dadterig1797]

Best one handed mechanic ever. Wonder if he perfected that skill in high schoool while holding up the Farrah Fawcett poster with one hand. Fox Body!

[@craigcraigster4999]

I had that poster, I still have the blisters to prove it.

[@Mustangdan351]

As a foxbody owner I called the fuel line issue before even seeing it. The tank has bee dropped at some point, probably to replace the fuel pump. Usually when that happens the fuel lines do not get put back in their correct place. They should be inside the tank strap not outside and zip tied to the strap. The strap helps hold them away from the exhaust. Now I will finish watching the video to see if you correctly fixed them.

[@michaelpressman7203]

Good thing you fixed it when you did or you could have done a replay of the guy with the bucket😂 Have a great weekend

[@myz06rocks]

My observation simply from logic. Completely agree.

[@calvinevans8305]

40:30 dude, you called it.

[@blahorgaslisk7763]

Still not mad about that metal line that's almost touching the exhaust. Is that the evap line? Is it safe to have that heat up?

I see you have a new man in the shop , I hope Troy is still there

I could never find a video where he introduced Troy. One day he just there in vids?

Watching this, brought back a bad memory. I had a muffler shop(national chain) replace 2 mufflers and tail pipes on my chevy truck, with an aftermarket auxiliary fuel tank. When they were finished, i looked to make sure they were not hanging. At 4 am, raining, I got on the interstate, hit the switch for the auxiliary fuel tank, and 30 seconds later, the cab began filling with smoke. I pulled over immediately, as all my lights went out and headlights started blinking. On the shoulder was a guard rail, and a steep embankment. I told my wife to get our kid out, as I couldn’t open my door, because there was no room. The smoke cleared, and laying across the seat, I replaced the fuses. They got back in, and as I stepped on the brake pedal to put it in gear, all the lights went out again! I got to a wider shoulder and using the radio and AC fuses, got the brake and wipers to work. I left it in neutral, to start the truck and drive to a truck stop at 45 mph so I wouldn’t have to touch the brakes. The muffler shop had pushed the pipe up til it touched the power wire to the fuel switch! The aftermarket fuel tank wiring had been wrapped around THE WHOLE WIRING HARNESS at the firewall!!! I had to pull each wire apart and tape them. All new fuses and just as many spares. The truck had 48 gallons of fuel and 40 lbs of propane! Plus my family! Now I have a shop I trust and they do all the work.

[@bilrand]

When you going to get Milwaukee to sponsor you? They will outfit you with a bunch of free new mechanic tools bro.

[@KB3AOL]

Yep. They did it for Robby Layton, and he’s a body guy.

[@ericstegner5730]

And if they say no he could try for an old Milwaukee sponsorship 😂

[@craigcraigster4999]

They sponsor former wrestler/actor Bill Goldberg's Garage channel too, he's got a Home Depot inventory worth of their tools. Bet they'd do the same for Ray, but he doesn't want to be beholden to anyone (yet).

[@squiggyg.8415]

It has a fire extinguisher, so I think I’m supposed to take it for a test drive😎

[@lous.6779]

[@treeguyable]

All these vids, Ray, showing stuff I have been doing for almost 50 yrs, makes me realize, just how crazy, and " unsuccessful" , I have been in life. Wouldn't it be great, to just pay someone to do this stuff. Those of us that know how to do all this stuff, probably wouldn't have it any other way.

[@patrickdiehl6813]

Reeeeeeee, I got Duped. Thought this was a Rainman Ray video and I got A rod!!! Lol Hi A Rod👍👍👍 Noice and Shiny Foxy Body!!!! Agree on the tune up action 👊 Have a great weekend Ray and A Rod✌️

[@popquizzz]

Your attention to detail on making that 90-degree connector being properly aligned is a consumer's dream. Excellent example of superior craftsmanship!

[@jad43701]

Don't worry about breaking the white locks on the fuel system. They are designed to break. You should find replacements with your fuel filters. And you should also have them in you fuel line repair kit. If not, check with your outside salesman about getting one. A must have if you do a lot of Ford work. And you seem to. Love the sound of that motor. Nothing like it. Brings back memories ! **EDIT** You have already found the kit. **EDIT

[@cactneir]

That's because ford has 8 million recalls. Needs her weekly checkup or else

[@cnicfam5vids608]

I so love the fire extinguisher sitting on the floor of the passenger side.

How many people have jobs that allow them access to so many classic cars. Perks of the job Mr. Rainman.

Happy Saturday Ray. My friend got a brand new 5.0 GT 1990 Red Mustang back when I was in college. That car was a beast. Brings back the memories. Hey A Rod.

[@arthurjennings5202]

Welcome to Watch Wes Work, Florida. It is nice to find something that actually works as advertised. The fuel line is going out better than it came in.

[@ajwilson605]

'85 Ford 5.0L. I had the harmonic balancer outer ring shift and it created what I thought was a cylinder miss. Spent hours changing spark plugs and wires looking for the miss. Spent more hours looking for a bad injector. I finally put a timing light on it and !BEHOLD!, I couldn't see any timing marks! Replaced the damper....all was well!

I have wanted this Mustang since I was a child, I'm so jealous.

[@brandonadams3210]

Thanks for the tip Ray Ray! I work at dorman and have one of these fuel line repair kits....didn't know you could do this with it. I watched your video and used the kit to fix my fuel line that was rigged together with a fitting and clamps

[@halh865]

that's a slick tool - often the lines @ purge valves will crack or get manhandled (broken connectors / lock tabs) and this would make repairs a breeze to do

[@williamfindspeople4341]

Love new tools. Just imagine, someone had to design that bad-boy. Necessity is the mother of invention so they say.

[@Dennys854]

It is a rather simple tool, the squeeze clamp is stock, but taking the time to make the jigs for line and fitting holders, yes, genius.

[@CodycoWeb]

Old tool every shop should have had one after the manufacturers started using the hard plastic fuel lines. Mine is hydraulic and much better dies to hold fittings more securely to line them up. Have used these types of fuel lines to replace steel and rubber hoses on many older cars also..

[@K.Kelly87]

People who design things like this tool are genius to me. I can use tools, I can use tool in ways they weren't designed for to make something work. BUT... I don't have the brain or the talent for invention, so, I'm always in awe of inventors!

[@recycleman2900]

I had an 86 GT 5 speed. Had a lot of fun and lost my license in that car. Good times. Miss that Mustang.

[@rrrobinson97202]

When I drop something, I call that a bounce test. If it brakes, it fails and if it don't break, it passes. Party on.

[@Impeeza]

great to see the customer have a big sense of security, while driving with a bad fuel line, have the extinguisher on the passenger floor.

[@paddy20111000]

I love the dome light . Those of my generation would call that a "map reading light" . In the pre GPS days we had to read a map to find our way . That type of light was a godsend when on a journey at night .

[@KHALABEEB]

This Fox and the Red mustang are STUPID NICE, dude must be a collector.

[@brad6665]

Since the 90 fitting require a specific turn, the other end did not. Make the mockup with out the lock fasteners and get your length and remove the whole line to press in the fittings and there you go, no weird angles with the tool, Just sayin Good job routing inside the strap.

[@Pizzpott]

It was really good to hear you say "let's go ahead, close the bonnet", that's what we in the UK call 'the hood'. Another great video Ray, I am watching them all again, right back to where I first found your channel during my fight with Covid in 2020. There were loads I missed and so am starting from scratch - from old to new.

[@mllarson]

There needs to be a competition where mechanics have to fix a car one-handed. Ray would win _hand_ down 😀

[@mitchalvin]

The tensioner of the Subaru tends to strip that bolt if one does not remove the other pulleys before removing that bolt as the increased lever arm give more side load.

[@duncancremin1708]

Thanks for the smiles that simply weren’t in my catalogue of available expressions, this morning. A video about poking at a dizzy cap clip! One of my teachers used to demand a 4 page essay about peeling an orange, as a deterrent against future misbehaviour. I imagine it would be something similar.

[@techbilldeaf]

Great video on fuel line replacement. That connector kit is neat! Here a tip. I am an old school mechanic and I have dealt with lot of those clip on distributor caps. It human nature to do what in front of them first then on so but next time clip the hardest to reach or one that buried under a bunch of wires first by slightly tilting the cap then clip the front or easiest to reach clip on last. 😊

[@johnt.848]

And don't pull up on the end as that angles the clamping part down making it harder to get on. Always press the spring steel from the middle and it will simply click on.

[@nonyabiz2777]

Nice I was thinking the same thing as probably 99% of the rest of the viewers. He has stated numerous times he likes to do things the hard way. It works for him.

[@nonyabiz2777]

Oh the rust dust and gas’s smell. Nice work bravo sir. Easy to spot a mechanic that don’t live in the rust belt you still have all the arm hair left.

[@john_thorpe]

A few things I would have done is to put the new lines on the top of the tank on the inside of the tank strap on the passenger side rather than routing it around the lip of the tank. Second when doing the 90 for the filter, I'd grab a silver Sharpie and mark one side and note if the 90 turn goes toward that mark or on the opposite side of the mark... this would make it more easier than twisting your hands, etc. to try and get it where it needs to go.

[@ngnmech]

Actually the orientation of the 90 on the line doesn't matter since the end that connects to the fuel pump is straight. the entire fuel line can be rotated to align the 90.

[@john_thorpe]

@@ngnmech While that may be true, marking it would have been a lot easier than what Ray was trying to do (twisting his arms, etc.).

[@Nick-nm8om]

I remember my brother bought an 1987 mustang used Michigan state trooper car back in the early 90's. But it used to have a 5.8L engine with an automatic transmission.

So how many years is there of combined experience between yours and Aaron's.... about 35+ ? Always great to see you two work together!

[@rickblanchette]

If you would loop the fuel feed line around the exhaust pipe like 4 loops it will help pre-heat the fuel for a more efficient burn. Mustangs love it. Adds 10hp per loop and 2mpg per loop as well. If you venturi washer fluid into the throttle body it will max the HP into pure LLama Thrusts as well.

[@maxplank4083]

Don't know if this has been mentioned before (pending reeee) but Ford used the round headed key as glove box and trunk only, not the door. The door lock was operated by the same key as the ignition.

Nice looking Fox body! That tool makes repairing lines a breeze. Back in the day the fittings would bust when removing the fuel lines from the cheesy Walbro pumps SAAB went to in 89. We used to have to use a brake line flaring bar and channel lock pliers to force the new fitting in the line. It was a royal PITA!
