Re: 1932 901 Gas Line

The fuel lines are nickel plate in the engine compartment only.

You can send the line out for plating, pick up a plating kit, or apply standard 60/40 solder to the outside of the cleaned line. If the solder is wiped off with a flannel cloth while still hot you'll get a finish similar to nickel plate.

My '32 901 does not have any bulkhead fuel fittings in the frame.

The line from the tank crosses over the frame rail through an opening in the splash apron where it is bolted to the frame.

The line arches over the spring bracket and goes to the fuel pump inlet. The line from the pump to the carburetor comes out straight then angles straight down.

It then goes through a hole in the splash apron, heads towards the back of the car for approx. 12" and then comes up through the splash apron again to connect to the fitting on the Detroit Lubricator type 51.

There is rubber grommet in each one of the holes in the splash apron to prevent the line from wearing through.
