Neil,
I am not aware on any affiliations with another franchise.
I don't know much about Autohausaz, just that their parts are good quality,
prices are very low and free shipping over $50.

Pat.

Do you know if Autohaus az is part of the Autohaus franchise? (if
there is such a thing)

I get my fuel hose from VM Autohaus. It's blue, but I don't recall any
manufacturers markings on it.

I had one hose leak a bit (less than a year old at the time) but the
rest were fine.

Chris.

Did the line blow, or leak?

Thanks,

Neil.
