I would replace the crossover tube if for no other reason than one never knows how
much longer some of these highly specialized parts are going to be available.

Subject: More Gas Leak

> Well, the gas leak ended up being the gas smell on filling the tank.... to now
include a leaking injector or leaking fuel rail on the passenger side.  Not finished
diagnosing that one yet.  So, now we're into pulling the tank, replacing the lines
here there and everywhere... both at the tank and down to and through the engine.

needed and people's recommended proceedures posted on the web.

good idea to replace it just because the tank is off and its accessable, or because
they really fail?  Madeline
