Subject:Plastic fuel line part - replace with what?
From:Jeff Lincoln

Ok, I'm back again.

I am thinking that no matter if that plastic fuel line connection (connects
fuel line between the "fire wall") has failed or not I will be replacing it.
I've heard others speak of replacing this with a bit of copper tubeing. I
searched but couldn't find the post. I'm wondering if anyone has any advice
on this:

1) What size copper tube will i need?
2) Do I have to have something that is slightly barbed or will the fuel hose
clamp tightly enought to a smooth pipe?

Any advice and wisdom is greatly appreciated.
