Chris,

Would you tell us EXACTLY what was written on the hose so we will know
exactly what Cohline product you used.  I would like to know if this was
"Fuel injection" hose or just "Fuel" hose and what the SAE specifications
were.  Please be complete in reporting the lettering on the hose.

Thanks,
Ed
