Subject: fuel lines

> Happy New Year to all of you.  I am in the process of replacing my fuel lines on my
1987 Vanagaon with 2.1 and would like to hear form you good folks on a couple of
issues i have.
> Is there a special type of fuel line i must use?  I am not sure how much pressure
the FI system generates.  Any idea how many feet of fuel line i will need?  What did
you folks do for the short (3") fuel line that goes from the injectors to the fuel
rail?  These 4 hoses are part of the injector.  Do these also develop leaks in the
long run?  I have heard that what can be done on these injector lines is:  is cut fuel
line with a sharp knife and use a dremel to grind away the small metal "plate" that
holds the line to the injector.  Then you simply cut a new length of line to replace
and add to a clamp to secure to the injector line.  Any one try this out there?
