If you immerse it in a pan of hot water, the leak should show as a stream o=
f bubbles=2E Continuing to gently heat it should eventually drive off the l=
iquid fuel=2E Let it cool (and suck air) before trying to seal the leak=2E

I don't have my notes handy, but ISTR someone saying there is a Ford part =
that will work=2E Older car, might possibly have been a Mustang II (but pro=
bably not)=2E
