Mark,

You asked this question to the wrong list.  I don't think there is a single
person here who would recommend NOT CHANGING your fuel lines.

Just have a look at Ben's website for some photos of why this pretty simple
job is worthwhile.

Subject: fuel lines: if it ain't broke

Hello all -

I'm replacing my gas tank and while I have it out I'm thinking of replacing
all the fuel lines too.  Got the GoWesty fuel line kit - HOWEVER - I'm
re-thinking an entire fuel line replacement job.  I got the little plastic
bugger out (the one prone to breaking and causing fires) - and I think I'm
going to stop there.  Just based on how difficult, and messy it was getting
that one line out - I'm thinking I won't mess with the injectors, injector
rails, and seals.  The lines appear o.k. and I fear messing something up in
finishing this job (never pulled an injector before).  Any thoughts out
there?  Should I stop - or go for it!  The engine has 152,000 on it.
