In trying to fix a fuel leak, I ended up making the problem way worse. The soft line that goes from the fuel filter head down to injector #1 was leaking pretty significantly so I decided to try replacing it. I had some rubber fuel line laying around the house that was the right ID. Here's a pic of the line I'm talking about.
So I proceeded to cut the right length of hose and install it in place of the leaker. After installing the new hose, I wasn't getting any smoke during engine cranking. I assumed I wasn't getting fuel and thought I should pull the new fuel line off and check it for kinks.
Turns out, a bee or wasp had made it's home inside the section of line that I had just installed in my truck I cleaned out that piece of line and re-installed it.
Now after 5-10 seconds of cranking I'm getting no fuel from the schraeder valve. I'm guessing there is now a clog somewhere? I'm not sure where to start looking for the clog.
