I was messing around under the hood of my '79 B last evening and
found an unrelated problem: With just the fuel pressure of having
the ignition turned on for a few moments I found a minor fuel leak.
The leak is coming from an object just past the fuel filter. It's a
small gray cannister thingy, with some kind of spring-loaded push-
button-like contraption on top. The fuel goes into one side of the
cannister and out the other. (Interestingly, I noticed the word
"INLET" under the what is currently the outlet side.) It's held in
place by a ring on the shelf of the firewall -- not tightly, but just
snugly enough that it can be inserted into and removed from the ring
by hand.
What is this device? I need to to know what to call this thing in
order to buy a new one. A look-over of the Haynes manual's diagrams
did not help, but maybe I missed it.
