Quadrajet Evaporation

(1/2) > >>

DougA:
How long will a quadrajet sit before it's out of fuel? If I let my car sit about 5-6 days,have to crank and crank,to get the gas back up. Just wondering what's normal,or do I have a leak? Thanks.

von:
Today's gasolines evaporate really fast. If a Q jet fuel level gets below the level that the accelerator pump will work (around 1/2 full) then it gets hard to start a cold engine. My Q jets, after being rebuilt and well plugs sealed, etc., typically will get hard to start after only about 3 days of sitting. Then it takes about 4 or 5 seconds of cranking to get the fuel level high enough to start the engine. That's with the float level set at 1/4"

DougA:
I forgot to mention I'm using 100ll av gas.

  And did the electric pump solve the long cranking ?
