Lou Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 I just assumed that the fuel lines were routed on a Monte just like they were on a Chevelle. Then I came across four lines at the front of the gas tank that look like they're routed way different than a Chevelle. Why 4 lines??

Dtret Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Behind the back seat the is an emission vapor tank (?).probably not one of gm’s better ideas. lol The two main lines off the sender are just like the chevelle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willie Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 I think the 2 middle go to the fuel gauge in the tank and the 2 ends are connected to the nipples at the ends of the tank. If i remember correctly there are 2 nipples one on each side of the tank itself and then the other 2 are connected to the fuel gauge. But not sure, i will check my manual later tonight for you. Maybe someone else will chime in that has a better memory than I. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dtret Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Not the best picture ( not taken for this reason. You can see all the lines on the tank. Blow it up. Not literally, there is fuel in there. Lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

420ponies Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 This must be on a'72? Mine has the 4 lines. You do have the canister filter up front,correct? 2 lines each end of tank( go to expansion tank behind seat) .then main line and a return line. Replaced all my lines with Inline tube stainless in 2004. Hope this helps you. I'm thinking '71 the same.They also have a center fuel cap. Should have no pressure built up when removing gas cap.

Rancid87 Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 If you ever look at a 72 Chevelle you will see that same setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol probably kickbacks from big tobacco while still appeasing the feds 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cny first gen 71 Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 They all had ash trays and cigarette lighters (actually cigar lighters) the newer stuff don't. One day when I was cleaning my truck I found out it has an ash tray, I was kinda suprised but it's never been used so I guess that's a good thing. I think I've used my ash tray in the monte once or twice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use the ash tray in my Monte all the time..... It looks like our kitchen junk drawer, it is a catchall for anything small enough to fit into it but looking at it, it looks like there has never been any cigarette's snuffed out in it or even ashes flicked into it since it left the factory. rob 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lou Posted March 13, 2022 Author Share Posted March 13, 2022 Thanks for the answers. Can't wait to drop everything from this chassis and clean her up under there. Been an Ohio car all her life and no sign of seeing salt. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
