Any tricks for finding a leak in fuel line ?

Ok so I’m gonna check that pickup but I ran a bottle of gas taped to the grille going straight to pump and it worked fine no stalling no nothing ……. I am just gonna be so so confused if the pickup isn’t damaged because I am so sure the line isn’t leaking from any of the connections ….. we’ll see about the pickup I guess lol


Cool! Running the engine off an alternate fuel source should eliminate carb/fuel pump and fuel filter as a problem area . Now you just eliminate the line from the pump to the tank , and then , the sending unit and pickup. I'd run a temporary rubber line to the sending unit from the fuel pump next. Just because you didn't see anything visual doesn't mean there isn't a problem. That would eliminate the steel fuel line . If you still have the problem, then you know its at the tank.
