Subject:Re: bypass plastic fuel Tee? good/bad idea?
From:Jeff Oxroad

Somewhere before I owned my bus someone fabricated a piece of metal hose
(possibly brass or copper?) welded to a small tab. The tab has a hole in it for a
screw and it is screwed to the firewall. The rubber fuel line attaches to each
side of the metal line on each side of the firewall. I believe this set up
replaced the problematic plastic piece that carries fuel through the firewall.
Works great so far.

It seems to me merely passing a rubber hose through the hole in the firewall
would lead to the rubber line being severed by constantly rubbing against the
metal firewall.
