Subject:Re: FUEL LINE: Hate to Burn, Then Learn.
Date:Thu, 17 Aug 2000 10:32:22 EDT

I had some really bad experiences with NAPA "high pressure" fuel line last
summer.  I used some of it on a customers van conversion that we were doing.
I was out of the German stuff so I figured this would be just as good.  The
hoses started popping one at a time.  After the third hose burst (I kid you
not) the lines were all replaced with German high pressure line.  No problems
since.  I don't know why, but the NAPA stuff is sub par.

I sell a fuel line replacement kit for the engine compartment that includes
the German hose, stainless Swedish clamps, and How-to instructions for $53.
Many list members have purchased and used this kit and have liked it (I have
it on my '91 Carat with no problems).  When it comes to fuel lines, why worry
when you can fix the problem and have peace of mind for not that much money
and time?

Thanks,
Ken Wilford
