Folks were wondering about a few things in the comments below. Troy was out sick today. The other fella is my friend from Michigan. Aaron is a Ford Senior Master Technician. Check out his channel HERE ua-cam.com/users/shortsRUbSn1-3XeM?si=BbKL6l_NP5X4xgMl
Reported fuel leak but I guess I will take it for a drive and see if it starts a fire.😂
Holy crap. Hope you took fire Extinguisher with you, so you won't have to replace the car when it catches fire 🔥 😜
😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂 thats @Rainmanray…..
It leaks so means tank is full of fuel. lets drop it on the road before working on it. Ray ways of thinking.
You didn't put it back in the air and check for leaks on your fittings after restarting ze auto.
Best one handed mechanic ever. Wonder if he perfected that skill in high schoool while holding up the Farrah Fawcett poster with one hand. Fox Body!
I had that poster, I still have the blisters to prove it.
I see you have a new man in the shop , I hope Troy is still there
I could never find a video where he introduced Troy. One day he just there in vids?
That’s a Ford guy who’s a friend of his.
@@chrisbyrne348 Wife unit introduced him in one of her videos.
I so love the fire extinguisher sitting on the floor of the passenger side.
The shop has become a Mustang heaven! Very cool.
Beats PT heaven🤣
It has a fire extinguisher, so I think I’m supposed to take it for a test drive😎
As a foxbody owner I called the fuel line issue before even seeing it. The tank has bee dropped at some point, probably to replace the fuel pump. Usually when that happens the fuel lines do not get put back in their correct place. They should be inside the tank strap not outside and zip tied to the strap. The strap helps hold them away from the exhaust. Now I will finish watching the video to see if you correctly fixed them.
Good thing you fixed it when you did or you could have done a replay of the guy with the bucket😂 Have a great weekend
My observation simply from logic. Completely agree.
40:30 dude, you called it.
Still not mad about that metal line that's almost touching the exhaust. Is that the evap line? Is it safe to have that heat up?
Watching this, brought back a bad memory. I had a muffler shop(national chain) replace 2 mufflers and tail pipes on my chevy truck, with an aftermarket auxiliary fuel tank. When they were finished, i looked to make sure they were not hanging. At 4 am, raining, I got on the interstate, hit the switch for the auxiliary fuel tank, and 30 seconds later, the cab began filling with smoke. I pulled over immediately, as all my lights went out and headlights started blinking. On the shoulder was a guard rail, and a steep embankment. I told my wife to get our kid out, as I couldn’t open my door, because there was no room. The smoke cleared, and laying across the seat, I replaced the fuses. They got back in, and as I stepped on the brake pedal to put it in gear, all the lights went out again! I got to a wider shoulder and using the radio and AC fuses, got the brake and wipers to work. I left it in neutral, to start the truck and drive to a truck stop at 45 mph so I wouldn’t have to touch the brakes.
The muffler shop had pushed the pipe up til it touched the power wire to the fuel switch! The aftermarket fuel tank wiring had been wrapped around THE WHOLE WIRING HARNESS at the firewall!!! I had to pull each wire apart and tape them. All new fuses and just as many spares. The truck had 48 gallons of fuel and 40 lbs of propane! Plus my family! Now I have a shop I trust and they do all the work.
Reeeeeeee, I got Duped. Thought this was a Rainman Ray video and I got A rod!!! Lol Hi A Rod👍👍👍 Noice and Shiny Foxy Body!!!! Agree on the tune up action 👊 Have a great weekend Ray and A Rod✌️
Your attention to detail on making that 90-degree connector being properly aligned is a consumer's dream. Excellent example of superior craftsmanship!
How many people have jobs that allow them access to so many classic cars. Perks of the job Mr. Rainman.
I had an 86 GT 5 speed. Had a lot of fun and lost my license in that car. Good times. Miss that Mustang.
Ray, I concur, love that car, had a 1989 convertible GT, MAN SURE MISS IT
Happy Saturday Ray. My friend got a brand new 5.0 GT 1990 Red Mustang back when I was in college. That car was a beast. Brings back the memories. Hey A Rod.
I have wanted this Mustang since I was a child, I'm so jealous.
Welcome to Watch Wes Work, Florida. It is nice to find something that actually works as advertised. The fuel line is going out better than it came in.
Thanks for the tip Ray Ray! I work at dorman and have one of these fuel line repair kits....didn't know you could do this with it. I watched your video and used the kit to fix my fuel line that was rigged together with a fitting and clamps
'85 Ford 5.0L. I had the harmonic balancer outer ring shift and it created what I thought was a cylinder miss. Spent hours changing spark plugs and wires looking for the miss. Spent more hours looking for a bad injector. I finally put a timing light on it and !BEHOLD!, I couldn't see any timing marks! Replaced the damper....all was well!
All these vids, Ray, showing stuff I have been doing for almost 50 yrs, makes me realize, just how crazy, and " unsuccessful" , I have been in life. Wouldn't it be great, to just pay someone to do this stuff. Those of us that know how to do all this stuff, probably wouldn't have it any other way.
Over a 76 year span of life --Mustangs and Camaros, my two favorite Vehicles, both started out with great body design and continue to present time...
great to see the customer have a big sense of security, while driving with a bad fuel line, have the extinguisher on the passenger floor.
Welcome to Ray’s Mustang Corral, formerly Ray’s Jeep Junction, formerly Ray’s PT Cruiser Corner.
When you going to get Milwaukee to sponsor you? They will outfit you with a bunch of free new mechanic tools bro.
Yep. They did it for Robby Layton, and he’s a body guy.
And if they say no he could try for an old Milwaukee sponsorship 😂
They sponsor former wrestler/actor Bill Goldberg's Garage channel too, he's got a Home Depot inventory worth of their tools. Bet they'd do the same for Ray, but he doesn't want to be beholden to anyone (yet).
that's a slick tool - often the lines @ purge valves will crack or get manhandled (broken connectors / lock tabs) and this would make repairs a breeze to do
When I drop something, I call that a bounce test. If it brakes, it fails and if it don't break, it passes. Party on.
I love the dome light . Those of my generation would call that a "map reading light" . In the pre GPS days we had to read a map to find our way . That type of light was a godsend when on a journey at night .
i just realized it was nearly 1h vid long, i never get bored watching your videos, keep it going this way man, love ur content from iraq
Don't worry about breaking the white locks on the fuel system. They are designed to break. You should find replacements with your fuel filters. And you should also have them in you fuel line repair kit. If not, check with your outside salesman about getting one. A must have if you do a lot of Ford work. And you seem to. Love the sound of that motor. Nothing like it. Brings back memories ! **EDIT** You have already found the kit. **EDIT
That's because ford has 8 million recalls. Needs her weekly checkup or else
Thanks for the smiles that simply weren’t in my catalogue of available expressions, this morning.
A video about poking at a dizzy cap clip!
One of my teachers used to demand a 4 page essay about peeling an orange, as a deterrent against future misbehaviour. I imagine it would be something similar.
From One Tech To Another... Good Job Sir!.👍from Tucson, Arizona
It was really good to hear you say "let's go ahead, close the bonnet", that's what we in the UK call 'the hood'.
Another great video Ray, I am watching them all again, right back to where I first found your channel during my fight with Covid in 2020. There were loads I missed and so am starting from scratch - from old to new.
Love new tools. Just imagine, someone had to design that bad-boy. Necessity is the mother of invention so they say.
It is a rather simple tool, the squeeze clamp is stock, but taking the time to make the jigs for line and fitting holders, yes, genius.
Old tool every shop should have had one after the manufacturers started using the hard plastic fuel lines. Mine is hydraulic and much better dies to hold fittings more securely to line them up. Have used these types of fuel lines to replace steel and rubber hoses on many older cars also..
People who design things like this tool are genius to me. I can use tools, I can use tool in ways they weren't designed for to make something work.
BUT... I don't have the brain or the talent for invention, so, I'm always in awe of inventors!
Love the fire extinguisher at the ready!😅
Always a good idea, especially if you owned a 70 Chevy Vega station wagon. It caught fire once well adding oil. I think my brother had something to do with the engine catching fire. :)
24:23 I chuckled. My thoughts exactly. Lmao
the usage of the convolute to protect the fuel lines is brilliant Ray!!!
This Fox and the Red mustang are STUPID NICE, dude must be a collector.
Another very well done job when fuel lines are like they were it can be a death trap. thank you for the video
Mustang Ray. Getting all the nice old Mustangs.
I remember my brother bought an 1987 mustang used Michigan state trooper car back in the early 90's. But it used to have a 5.8L engine with an automatic transmission.
Damn, taking it back to the old school!
At work we have a 2000 F450 that has 9000 miles on the odometer. The pedals, seat, steering wheel all seem to indicate low mileage
Don't burn your fingys on the hot engine 😅 good morning Mr Ray hope y'all having a wonderful weekend
Thanks for another Mustang video Ray!!
The tensioner of the Subaru tends to strip that bolt if one does not remove the other pulleys before removing that bolt as the increased lever arm give more side load.
Always good to watch a repair with a celebrity appearance (PTT)👍👍🤣
Cheers
Reminds me of when I worked at the Ford dealership. I was doing sending unit recalls. It😂was a flat rate shop. I was able to get faster at it because of doing it over and over. Made good time,and was able to get in 8 hours in. Then leave at 1 or 2 pm.
Those fox body 5.0 stick mustangs were a hoot to drive. Nice job Ray!
always my favorite youtube content
A few things I would have done is to put the new lines on the top of the tank on the inside of the tank strap on the passenger side rather than routing it around the lip of the tank. Second when doing the 90 for the filter, I'd grab a silver Sharpie and mark one side and note if the 90 turn goes toward that mark or on the opposite side of the mark... this would make it more easier than twisting your hands, etc. to try and get it where it needs to go.
Actually the orientation of the 90 on the line doesn't matter since the end that connects to the fuel pump is straight. the entire fuel line can be rotated to align the 90.
@@ngnmech While that may be true, marking it would have been a lot easier than what Ray was trying to do (twisting his arms, etc.).
5 months later... a nice re-visit 👌
Oh the rust dust and gas’s smell. Nice work bravo sir. Easy to spot a mechanic that don’t live in the rust belt you still have all the arm hair left.
Oh SNAP!
That kit could have saved me tonight! I broke a coolant reservoir vent hose on a Beemer, while tidying up a starter replacement....
Great video on fuel line replacement. That connector kit is neat!
Here a tip. I am an old school mechanic and I have dealt with lot of those clip on distributor caps. It human nature to do what in front of them first then on so but next time clip the hardest to reach or one that buried under a bunch of wires first by slightly tilting the cap then clip the front or easiest to reach clip on last. 😊
And don't pull up on the end as that angles the clamping part down making it harder to get on. Always press the spring steel from the middle and it will simply click on.
Nice I was thinking the same thing as probably 99% of the rest of the viewers. He has stated numerous times he likes to do things the hard way. It works for him.
I got the fuel line kit and it's the best tool ever saved me so much money not having to take it to a shop. Mine cost like $300 on amazon but worth it.
Very cool tool.Good to see the boys.Have a great weekend
we used to mod the wiring at the headlamp switch to make fog lights come on with parking lights... good times, foxbody tbirds for this guy
This was a great one. I didn't even know that repair kit existed. And even though it is fuel injected, I do the same thing and I know better
Also use some heater hose by straps to keep from sub sonic vibration rubbing
I nearly bit through my lip trying to help you get that clip on the distributor cap. Damn!
I didn't notice you leak checking the lines after pressurizing them.
It's been awhile since I've seen a key (copy) branded ILCO (or ILICO).... plus the square for the ignition and the oval one for the doors and trunk.
Good Repairs Ray The Electrical Loom don't Loom to bad on them plastic Fuel line @Rainman Ray's Repairs
My Brother has a Fox body 1990 with a 5.0L Hatchback Supercharged, he loves that car, sounds really nice too
Hey Ray I remember the first time I had a chance to drive one of those Mustangs. It was like being shot out of a sling shot LOL.
You mentioned that guy that drilled a hole in a gas tank and boom. I had a similar experience with a drop light cord and a metal tank. It's a lesson I won't forget.
I really like your new tool for making fuel lines.
Thank you for sharing this video today keep them coming and don't forget to have a great weekend 💪✌️
Ouch thanks for the " this is the stuff we had back in highschool comment" remind me how old I am lmao Still love that body style of Mustang shame they are usually modded to death.
Ray is both handed. That's for sure!💪
So how many years is there of combined experience between yours and Aaron's.... about 35+ ? Always great to see you two work together!
Nice to see Aaron stopping by again. I don't have much cause to watch his channel, not owning any Ford vehicles at the moment.
I've seen 2 of these burn to the ground for this exact issue! Lucky owner! If you ever have any exhaust work done always check for clearance issues! 👍
Wonderful car and a nice repair from you Ray
Really like that fuel line replacement kit. Was thinking instead of loom for protection I was thinking about a Velcro heat shield that I found once on the internet.
Works similar to a tubing flair tool only with plastic tubing it's a great kit to have
Flowmasters on an old 302 HO is without a doubt the best sounding exhaust ever.
Hooker catback on 4th gen F-bodies sound fantastic too, and don't come alive until you engage the go-faster pedal (in other words, no 24/7 drone into the cabin). 🙂
I'm impressed with the fuel line maker tool, nice work Ray 🤘🤘
The zip-ties MADE the installation...
Honestly, SUR&R's system is way better. No special tools need.
There needs to be a competition where mechanics have to fix a car one-handed. Ray would win _hand_ down 😀
Flash point & ignition variables with 21% oxygen presence aside, I'd tend to consider that situation in the potential explosive category.
Yeeeeeshhhh!!!!!!!!!!!
At least we can rule out 'vapor lock'!
Cheers!

Have a great holiday everybody!
I miss my 90 GT. I was told by the dealer that it was the 1st black on black automatic (couldn't & still can't drive a stick) with a moon roof for the 90 model year. Ordered it in either May or June of 89. Didn't get until the end of October of 89. Had right around 25,000 miles when some woman cut me off in a parking lot. Caught right on the point of the nose & bent the frame and totaling it.
Really well worked out and a nice job.
For situations like the fuel line being too close to the exhaust I've used ceramic exhaust heat wrap ( like they use on motorcycles ) and just wrap the exhaust where needed to protect the line.
I love my mini green Amazon screwdriver/prybar they're great for appliance repair.
I've taken plastic lines and soaked them in very hot water before pressing them into fittings by hand. When the tubing cools it maintains the shape of the ribs of the fitting and behaves like a factory production line.
that kit for repairing the hoses is just a great tool to have! a bit challenging to figure out at first,
but just works great! it is great to have exact replacement fittings. great job.
Absolutely I wished I had that Repair Kit 10 years ago when I was making fuel lines for Fords or any make. I remember I had to heat up the plastic tube in VERY hot water and then push "force" the fitting on; it was a PITA!, but I have to say the worst was making brake lines!🤬🤬🤬
Absolutely best video recording I have ever seen. Your video attributes match or are superior to your mechanical attributes. It’s wonderful being able to see every move that you make. It really helps with the learning experience.
Another great video. Good to see ARod making a visit to the shop.
At least there was a fire extinguisher on the passenger side floor board!
Don't know if this has been mentioned before (pending reeee) but Ford used the round headed key as glove box and trunk only, not the door. The door lock was operated by the same key as the ignition. This allows you to maintain a modicum of security if you trust a valet to operate your vehicle. Great content, I look forward to your lists every day.
I'm there with you Ray. This job is very doable with the right replacement parts and tool. A fiberglass heat shield sleeve
is highly recommended and not plastic split wire loom.🤨That one metal line is way too close to the exhaust still.
I was wondering about that line. The others are fuel and return. What's that metal line?
OK my age and background is showing as think even two lines to the tank are one too much. I can't help but think mechanically driven fuel pump with no return line. But I know that's ancient thinking...
Vent line to evap canister I think.
@@CodycoWebSeems to jive with what other's have posted. But still, too modern for me... So if I understand this correctly this is a vacuum line going from the air intake to the tank to evacuate gas fumes into the air intake. This is done to cut down on the amount of fumes leaking from the tank. And in a well working system there should be very little flow through this line as the tank should be fitted with a gas tight seal on the fill port.
Correct so far? And if so is it really OK to have the steel line (guessing, but it seems reasonable it's steel) running so close to the exhaust?
Dang so much I'm not sure about on modern cars. I can't help but think that it might be a bad idea to have the evap line, if it works as I suspect, that close to the exhaust.
Please someone tell me I'm silly!
The metal line will heat up, and since it is touching the “plastic wire conduit” it will also heat up. The metal line should not be touching a hot exhaust. And plastic wire conduit should NEVER be used for an explosive substance like gasoline.
My uncle had an 88 gt with t-tops. Red with black stripes. Had the interior lights replaced with red bulbs. And a nice sound system. I remember being a kid 90s riding around with him. Love to find a solid project car like that now.
I really miss the phone "Doodlie doodlie dooos"
Ice ice baby rolling in my 5.0 with the rag top down so my hair can blow. The Girly’s on standby waiting to say hi did you stop? No I just drove by. Lol 😂 because of that guy when I was in high school I wanted a mustang 5.0 with a ragtop.
Damn. I saw one of those mustang 5liter back in 92-93, I was in Dallas. Back then it looked cool.
Should put all the old Mustang videos on a playlist called "Slow and Loud" lol
Hey Ray I'm not a "Mustang" owner but have retired from the business hence still diagnose when you read "customer states" ; with the fuel lines I thought you were going to cover them in a protective wrapper!
Looks like the Toyota Engineers built the SUV around the engine glad you have the patience, not sure i would have have have the patience. Your the best Ray.
I still drive a Pontiac Fiero...
Not mine though, our spare.
Mine's still waiting on getting the front subframe replaced, it rusted out near the wheel.
Good tip is to write the date on the filter ..
I had a job like this last week .
Used rubber fuel line and heat shield sleave . And high pressure hose clips
the guy that had this in high school was the coolest guy there. i remember those days.
I love working with nylon fuel line. Its all we use at work for fuel line repairs. Im going to use it for the fuel sustem on my s10 5.3 swap project.
Love that "Gravity!"
