If the fuel lines are original, this is the biggest mistake you could make.
Rethink it.
Vans burn all the time from the injector lines failing right over the hot exhaust system.

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.
